Chapter 8 by The-Drunken-Bandit The-Drunken-Bandit

Which faction do you choose?

Homeworld Gems

Though it comes with severe risks, recruiting from the homeworld faction of gems comes with its own advantages.

Those advantages mainly stem from the fact that all members within the society are either trained enforcers or skilled technicians. The only question remains of whether or not any of them would actually accept your offer as many of the homeworld gems are extremely loyal to the diamonds.

Despite this, you can obviously see that there is bubbling resentment within the faction that you could easily exploit and tempt several of the members of Homeworld with an offer of employment as your commander.

With that in mind, you immediately begin to scroll through the many different choices you have for possible henchmen and immediately come up with three possible choices.

1. Jasper: this particular gem in the diamond authority is perhaps one of the best examples of an enforcer that you’ve seen. As Jasper is from what you’ve seen is strong, durable, capable, and completely ruthless towards her enemies, especially to those who are part of the crystal gems. However, what makes Jasper even more valuable is the fact that she is a skilled veteran of the rebellion and has been in multiple conflicts both before, during, and after the rebellion.

Though that’s not to say that Jasper doesn’t have her own problems as the gem is suffering from **** abandonment issues and internal self-hatred.

Jaspers **** abandonment issues come from both being apart of the now divided pink diamond court and from the incident in which she forcefully fused with lapis lazuli. Who during the event constantly fought against Jasper in order to keep their fusion form from harming Steven and the other crystal gems. After the two were forcibly separated did Jasper’s **** abandonment issues come to surface as she felt weak and alone after being fused with lapis for so long. It got so bad that Jasper begged lapis to fuse with her again so that she could feel the power that their combined form gave her. This combined with the **** isolation that Jasper has suffered on earth has caused the gem to feel completely alone on the blue dot that is earth.

However, jaspers internal self-hatred goes back even further to when she was originally created in the beta kindergarten back on earth. You see the beta kindergarten back on earth was considered an absolute failure as many of the gems that came from this kindergarten were more often than not flawed. Jasper was the exception to this rule as she came out completely perfect by the homeworld gems standards to which she is rather prideful about, but she is also very ashamed of where she was born as there is this belief that anyone from the beta garden is innately flawed as a result Jasper does everything within her power to not look weak to others. You can obviously see the self-destructive cycle that Jasper is gotten herself trapped into as she hates anything that has to do with being weak and hates anything having to do with relying on others.

Good Lord, recruiting Jasper is a difficult task and having to deal with her in the long term even be more difficult considering her aggressive personality. However, if you do successfully recruit Jasper, you gain an experienced veteran and an experienced leader and enforcer I can act as your commander. The only problem is the fact that you’re going to have to tear down jaspers mental walls in order to work with her better. A part of you thinks that this could be possibly fun and a little kinky depending on where this goes…

2. Holly blue agate: Holly blue agate or Holly as you’re going to call her is the assigned leader of the human zoo that pink diamond set up back before the rebellion. Holly is a strict matriarch and does not tolerate any breach in protocol and is also a bit of a brown noser when it comes to dealing with gems that are higher in the totem pole of the caste system than her. However, that’s not to say Holly is not a good choice as a possible commander as it has been shown on several occasions that Holly runs a tight ship and can be expected to get the job done no matter what.

However, Holly is rather flawed as she has been rather abusive to the subordinates beneath her this **** often takes the form of mental and verbal ****, but at times she does form acts of physical ****. There’s also not to mention the fact that Holly is rather prideful and would rather have others get away scot-free than admit that she has failed to her commander. These two flaws are extremely dangerous, but they could be worked out with time and compassion.

For the simple fact that these two flaws are the result of the environment in which Holly is from, you see Holly was assigned the thankless task of maintaining and watching over the human zoo. To which she has done to perfection over a period of at least 5000 to 4000 years from your estimate. A rather impressive track record you must admit and could obviously see that Holly would be an excellent administrator for your forces. However, Holly does not get any respect or any thanks for doing her job, and as a result, Holly feels that she is rather weak and low on the totem pole in her diamonds court. As a result, she takes this frustration out on her subordinates in the form of **** both physically and mentally.

As for her problem of not willing to admit that she’s failed to her leaders that could be a result of her wanting to change her work assignment. For the simple fact that Holly does not enjoy running the human zoo and would rather be somewhere else doing a job that actually gets respect from others. So, as a result, she does not admit any of her flaws or mistakes to her superiors as to keep the appearance of perfection.

Both of these flaws could be twisted in a way that could allow you to recruit Holly to your cause. If you succeed in such an endeavor, then you would gain an accomplished administrator who over time would most likely become extremely loyal to your cause. Also, a little dirty thought comes to your mind as you see that Holly has a whip as a primary weapon, that when combined with her rather domineering personality gives you the thought that she might enjoy dominating the other women of the multi-verse with you…

3. Aquamarine: well this one is a bit of a mixed bag. Aquamarine works directly under blue diamond as her personal retrieval specialist, who more often than not is sent out to retrieve humans for the human zoo that pink diamond set up. To which aquamarine has done to a rather frightening level of excellence. However, aquamarine has never done this alone and certainly has never done this without her weapons. So, there are some serious pros and cons when it comes to recruiting aquamarine.

Pros: Aquamarine is ruthless in her tasks and will stop at nothing to ensure that she completes her mission. Also, aquamarine is rather devious and deceptive and is not above manipulating people to achieve her goals. These two facts combined with the fact aquamarine is also a very intelligent being with a photographic memory that she can draw upon with crystal clarity makes her an excellent choice as a commander.

Cons: Aquamarine is ruthless in her tasks, and as a result, she is not above killing people at random in order to achieve her goals. Something that would obviously catch the attention of the locals in any world that you invade and as a result aquamarine may blow your cover before you’re ready to invade. Also, aquamarine is rather arrogant and egotistical something that could easily be played against her by someone who knows how to press the right buttons. Then there is the final fact aquamarine has never done anything on her own and has always had the helping hand of someone much stronger than her or has had the advantage of having advanced pieces of technology to immobilize her enemy completely.

These are some severe pros and cons that you had to consider if you recruit aquamarine as your henchman. This is not even considering the fact that aquamarine may just flat out say no to your offer and may even attempt to attack you on sight. However, if you do succeed in recruiting aquamarine, you gain a ruthless ally to your cause he would stop at nothing to succeed at whatever you command her to do.
