Down below in the bottom of the ruins Lodestone and Calcite were tearing apart a bunch of old robonoids, light kites, roaming eyes, and other gem tech that looked like it was scavaneged over a long period of time.

"No,no no! If we want to get any real propulsion we should install  the gravity engine in the back!" Yellow Calcite yelled.

"That would be fine, if the goal was long distance travel, for maximum manverabilty the engine must be in the middle to maintain bilateral symmery!" Lodestone magneticly locked two peices of gem tech together.

"But by putting the engine in the middle we would have to make sacfrices to the weapons systems! If this is to be a strike ship fire power cannot be compromised!" Calcite retorted.

"However, increased firepower with extra weight centered in the back would cause a counter thrust that would add far to much recoil and essentially make this project worthless!!" Lodestone remarked.

Both gems began thinking until they simotaneouly blurted out. "If we run the blaster cannons through the auxilary cords instead of attaching them to the main line, we could maximize fire power without compromising the sturctural intergity of the ship!" They both smiled and high fived. Before Calcite shrunk herself and flew inside the machine they were building and Lodestone made her way to a nearby console.

"Well of course you can be yourself that's what the crystal gems are all about!" Cuprite entered by sliding down from above. "That's why we have made the all the hard choices, to ensure homeworld is better, for everygem!" She giggled.
