Plot/Script
''???: Hello, Zircon. Come to argue with my again, young one?''

''Zircon: Yes... Well, kind of. ''

''???: Zircon. I told you. It's rising and it will strike once more.''

''Zircon: You refer to it as some kind of... being when it is not.''

''???: Is it not? Is it not a living parasite?''

''Zircon: So what if it is? It is still not of a physical...''

''???: Exactly: It has the tiniest amount of mass, appearance, and it exists. ''

''Zircon: Humph. So what shall we do, 'Master'.''

???: Please, refer to me as Zultanite.

Zircon: I was being sarcastic.

Zultanite: And I knew you were.

''Zircon: Why are you so... infuriating?!''

''Zultanite: Because you are a young one, and you do not understand. ''

Zircon: Understand what?!

''Zultanite: How the world works. ''

''Zircon: What?! I have had personal lessons with Blue Diamond and White Diamond! ''

''Zultanite: *chuckles* The Great Diamond Authority? You are learning nothing but lies. Lies they make to cover up their hideous mistakes.''

Zircon: But you serve under the Diamonds as well!

''Zultanite: Do not be quick to assume. I only serve them because I am forced to. ''

''Zircon: Forced to?! Forced to?! They are the great protecters of Ho-''

''Zultanite: *laughs loudly* Oh Zircon, you are so blind and naive! You are like a blind baby duck, and the Diamonds are eagles, leading you down the stream to their nest so they can eat you up! Hah! Do you not see all their mistakes, their imperfection? Their lies, their rotten plans? Do you not? Hah! Hah, hah, hah! ''

Zircon: Sir, this is really getting off topic...

''Zultanite: I apologize, young one. Let me tell you something. When it strikes again, the Diamonds will be held helpless and guilty, their very own citizens rising above them, and Homeworld will fall. ''

''Zircon: But sir, Homeworld is very strong and efficient! ''

''Zultanite: And vulnerable to demise. I dismiss you my boy, and steer clear of it!''
