SENT COMMUNICATIONS

===================

FROM: PEARL@YELLOWDIAMOND

TO: JASPER@Facet2F1L--Cut4XR

Subject: Your assignment

---

You’ve been assigned as the escort for a Peridot on a mission to Yellow Diamond Planet 247 in the Eastern Quadrant (formerly Blue Diamond Planet 478, known locally as “Earth”). The details are being forwarded to your commander.

This is a direct order from Yellow Diamond.

Please send communication once you receive this message. If you have any questions, please direct them to myself at this commlink. If you wish to contact the Peridot, she can be reached at commlink PERIDOT@Facet2F5L--CUT5XG. Please refrain from sending communication to Yellow Diamond directly as they will simply be forwarded to myself and waste Our Diamond’s valuable time.

I await your expedient reply.

Subject: Re: Re: Your assignment

Al-right, perhaps you did not read my original communication thoroughly.

Or perhaps you are incapable of reading altogether.

If it is the first instance, I must again reiterate DO NOT SEND COMMUNICATION TO YELLOW DIAMOND DIRECTLY. She is much too busy to respond to the inane questions of a mere soldier, particularly a veteran of the campaign that failed to secure Yellow Diamond Planet 247 in the first place.

You should be aware of your place.

Subject: Re: Up Yours

---

I should remind you the use of such profane slurs is unwise on monitored commlink.

Frankly I don’t have time to explain why all of your opinions are invalid and your beliefs are moronic, so I’ll try my best to summarize.

The fact I have never been in combat myself is irrelevant. I don’t need to understand the “pressures” of a “trained” soldier to objectively understand what a military failure is. And I hope you’re not implying any decisions from the Diamond Authority are anything less than well-reasoned and absolute. Whether you think the planet could have been retaken in another manner means literally nothing to anyone, especially not My Diamond.

You were not created to have opinions. You were created to protect Diamond Authority assets. I can only hope you can muster up enough competence to fulfill your purpose properly in this latest assignment.

FROM: PEARL@YELLOWDIAMOND

TO: JASPER@Facet2F1L--Cut4XR

Subject: Like talking to a wall

---

I understand you’ve once again bothered Yellow Diamond with your communications. As I’ve already stated, you’re wasting your time.

In any event, I have some new information: your ship will also be transporting cargo that will assist the Peridot in her mission. The cargo is (1) Lapis Lazuli currently designated as a prisoner of Blue Diamond. I’ve forwarded the details to your commander.

This will primarily be of concern to the Peridot rather than you; I’m simply informing you this will occur so you don’t find out later and bother My Diamond with more unnecessary messages.

Please try to remember this information. I’m aware coherent thought might be a little too much to ask of you, but just ... try.

Think you can do that?

Okay, good.

FROM: PEARL@YELLOWDIAMOND

TO: JASPER@Facet2F1L--Cut4XR

Subject: Addendum

---

I will be at the dock to brief certain information to the Peridot personally before your ship is scheduled to take off. This may cause a slight delay in your departure.

Feel free to do something mindless until that time. I’m certain that won’t be hard for you to do.

FROM: PEARL@YELLOWDIAMOND

TO: JASPER@Facet2F1L--Cut4XR

Subject: I HATE YOU

---

How DARE you?

How DARE you embarrass me in such a manner? How dare you even touch me?! You ...

I can’t even get the words out.

Yellow Diamond WILL be hearing about this. Bodily harm on a servant of the Diamond Authority is nothing to be taken lightly. No matter what you say, she CARES if something happens to me.

But you! If you died today, no one would care! No one would even notice!

Don’t ever act like you’re better than me!

I assure you, a report WILL be filed and you will be in serious trouble for this. Enjoy your last assignment because it’s going to be your last.

I’m not afraid of you.
