Hackmanite was in her favorite place yet again, her garden. There were flowers braided into her hair, and they were a vibrant contrast from the dark pink.
The gem was laying on the ground amongst the flowers, humming a long forgotten human tune quietly as she looked upmat the stars. But soon she heard the familiar sound of her warp pad being activated. She sat up quickly, unsheathing her weapons as a caution before standing and walking towards it to investigate.

A few warps down, a few more to go. But in this moment, some place else. A garden to be exact, or at least that's what it looked like to Desert Rose. It's a nice place, admittedly, but she had never seen or heard of this location before. There are many gem-owned gardens, but this one is new to her.
She summoned a few of her throwing glaives as a precaution, as she hadn't seen what has become of this planet during her 'hibernation', and since the rebellion. She has no idea what has happened to her home planet either. Are there any gems still on planet? Did they leave? How did the war end? She doesn't know, but just in case anyone or anything were to come around, she was ready. Desert Rose began searching the area, taking only a few steps hear and there and looking around.

She quickly hid from the new, unknown gem, a worried look on her face. That warp pad shouldn't be open to other gems... How did she get here? She gathered her thoughts, before exiting her hiding spot and pointing a machete at the stranger.
"Who... Who are you? How did you get here...?"

Desert Rose heard what distinctly sounded like foot steps and took a few steps back herself, holding her throwing glaives in front of herself in defense and in a ready-to-attack position. She thought this place could of been abandoned but the foot steps tell her otherwise.
Suddenly an unknown gem ran out and stood aways from her, pointing their weapon in her direction and speaking out to her. She wasn't sure what to say and instead just gestured her head backwards and to the warp pad.

"You shouldn't have been able to use that... I made sure no one else could access it... this is impossible...."
She doesn't lower her weapons, but looks away, muttering to herself about the whole predicament.

Desert Rose looked to the ground, thinking. She was confused herself, she doesn't know how she was able to use the warp pad herself.
Maybe the warp pad was malfunctioning? Could it be damaged?
"Perhaps the warp pad is damaged?"

"Its not damaged I just used it!"
She starts pacing, muttering again.

What's happening now? Desert Rose stared at the gem curiously, but still confused. A gem shouldn't let their guard down like that, not that quickly, OR over a warp pad that you were able to use for some inexplicable reason.
Rather than asking what was wrong, she just stood their quietly and continued to stare at the gem.
After a few minutes passed, she eased up and stood up straight with her arms to her sides, but ready to defend herself if proven necessary. This solo staring contest was getting her nowhere, and she still needed to explore the rest of the gem locations. As well as collect any information of what has happened since the rebellion.
"......."

Hackmanite takes a deep breath, preventing herself from going into a panic. She looks up, pointing her weapons at the other gem.
"Show me where you came from."

Desert Rose rolled her eyes at the gem, she had already gone through this with them. Were they not listening?
She turned to the side and pointed directly at the warp pad, without breaking eye contact with the unknown gem.

"No. Where were you before you hopped on the Warp Pad and intruded here?"

She looked to the side, thinking, before looking back up at the gem and saying "Travelling." That's it, nothing much else to it.
You were travelling through other gem-owned places and trying to get a feel on what has happened during the past few thousand years.

She sighed again, storing one of her weapons away.
"Leave. Get on your way. I don't need some lone, rogue gem leading anyone to me."

"I'm not leading any gem anywhere. I'm travelling alone."
"Who are you anyway?"

She drew herself up before responding. "Hackmanite. And who knows, you could end up drawing someone here."
