The Black Hand would follow the designated flight path, swooping in towards the spaceyard, landing delicately on its fingers with the wrist stump pointed at an angle to the ground. In the stump a door would open and a ramp would extend out for Black Diamond and Arquin to leave the ship off of. As she sashayed her way down the ramp she took in the sight of the city around her, visibly impressed. Though a thought would come to her that caused her to turn and ask Arquin, "Wasn't Earth your homeworld? Why is this planet so much more developed? Did your colony end revolt or something?" |

Continued from The beginnings of the New Gem Empire Soon they landed and out on in the pace yard they were. "Mars. It really has been a while." Arquin was looking around the place when he was spoken to. "Wasn't Earth your home world? Why is this planet so much more developed? Did your colony end revolt or something?" "It may be my home world yes, but not one that I particularly care for. For the most part, those who could performed an exodus when most of the major places on earth were destroyed. By some miracle, some places on earth are actually rehabilitating. The planet felt the wrath of my master as he was angered. The destruction delivered to earth was the result of incurring his wrath. Heh." Just the thought of his master's absolute power made him smirk. Soon he would be able to gain the same type of power so he would never be weak again. |

Black Diamond raised an eyebrow at Arquin's comment about his master causing a cataclysm on Earth that forced their entire race to flee to a different planet. That's a little...extreme. Black Diamond took solace in the fact that the Diamond Authority would never do such a thing, wasting an entire world over some petty dispute? Why was there a random laughing sound coming from somewhere distant? Whatever. Black Diamond strutted away from the ramp towards a building that looked like it would handle incoming visitors. "So, any recommendations on where we should go? I'm not too sure how plebeians do things." |

"Yes actually. You can follow me." Arquin, presumably followed by Black Diamond, left the area that they were in. Arquin lead the way until they reached a check point of some sort. The guard there was about to stop him when the armored teen simply took out a card of some sort and waved it at the guard. "She's with me." The guard at the post simply nodded and let both of them pass by. After walking a safe distance away from the check point Arquin let out a grin. "Well it's good to see that this thing still works. One of the highest access passes you can get here for Mars." Arquin would briefly flash it at Black Diamond before putting it back in his pocket. After walking around the main district of Mars, Arquin soon took his acquaintance to what seemed to be a shopping district. "You said you wanted to see technology well look no further. You didn't really say exactly what type so here's a small taste of everything. You need stuff for cooking and shit? It's here. Maybe you need stuff to fix your car? Or uh, ship I guess in your case they got shit like that here too. Practically anything you would need technologically you can find it here." As he spoke he pointed to the various shops and stalls that occupied the various spaces of the plaza that they were in. "If none of the commercial items here take your fancy I could perhaps, take you to a place with much more . . . dangerous items and what not. But we would have to be pretty secretive about going to that place." |

Black Diamond was silent as she followed Arquin at his request. When she spotted the checkpoint and guessed at what it was for, she briefly wondered if there were going to be issues, but Arquin confidently flashed an object of some kind, causing the guard to stand down. A small distance away, Arquin flaunted it, explaining that it was an access pass of some kind. "Hm...my little friend has connections, doesn't he?" She said in a sultry voice as she followed after him. He eventually lead her through the city to a place the signs stated was the "shopping district". She was vaguely aware that certain organic species developed a system of bartering for goods and services, which she found odd but assumed that this area was dedicated to. Arquin was starting to give a small speech now, explaining that this area had various types of stores selling various types of tech, and if nothing her interested her he knew where to find some more dangerous stuff. However, whenever he finished his speech and turned back to her, he would find her in front of a store advertising lingerie and swimwear, looking at advertisements for "SEXY" and "BEAUTIFUL" clothes and such. She noticed how the advertisements seemed to focus on certain aspects of the organic entities within. Shifting her "clothes" to take a similar appearance to a lingerie set on display, Black Diamond cupped her breasts like the model was doing in the picture and turned to Arquin asking, "Is this related to organic reproduction habits?" |

As he finished the last bit of his speech, Arquin noticed that there was a certain shop that cause Black Diamond's attention. He walked over to where she was and noticed that it was a Lingerie shop mostly aimed towards women. A bunch of promiscuous outfits and what not could be seen through the windows. At first, something like this wouldn't really bother him. But then he realized the situation he was in. "Is this related to organic reproduction habits?" "Uh." Why now of all times was he starting to feel awkward? He was a War Officer in the name of The One, a mass murderer and a warrior. So why was he feeling this way in this moment? "You . . . you could say that yes. Why are you uh, interesting in such habits?" Aaaaaand it was only until right after he said what he said, that he really realized what he had actually said. 'Fffffffuuuuuuuuuuu.' Hopefully what he said went over her head and she didn't think much of it. |

It was very interesting how the normally calm and collected Arquin changed his demeanor at her actions, becoming noticeably flustered. She leaned forward slightly, looking closely at him as he stutteringly said that yes the odd clothes were related to reproduction and asked if she was interested. She actually paused to seriously consider the question. Pink was interested in the organics of her world, I remember the 'humans' in her zoo seeming to enjoy the reproductive acts. Perhaps it would be fun to try it out? As far as I can tell, there's no Gem Empire here, so it's not like the other Diamonds can judge me for trying. Black's lips were pursed as she thought about it, her eyes momentarily unfocused before she came back to Arquin in front of her. She saw that he was uncomfortable with what she was doing, and wondered why that was. She tried to remember the human mating habits but pulled up a blank. But not wanting to make her...friend...any more uncomfortable, she leaned back and shifted her clothes back to normal. She would be quiet for a moment, averting her eyes before admitting, "Yes...I think I am...interested...but I'm not sure how I would go about learning about that." She slowly turned her eyes back to Arquin, "I'm not sure how you would feel about mating with someone like me. Especially since our different physiologies mean no offspring could be produced. That...is the purpose of mating, yes? Making offspring?" |

"Yes. Yes it is." That's all Arquin could muster to say at the moment with his jumbled up thoughts. He took a deep breath as he tried to calm down. She was alien. Probably didn't fully understand the concept of hoenmsting between humans worked and how . . . Intimate it can get. "I find it a bit ironic." He started off as a thought came to his mind. "We came here for technology but you have an interest in organics. Not that it bothers me, it's just a bit ironic." As he spoke Arquin hoped that inside his mind Lace was asleep. If she heard any of this she would be sure to give him hell. 'One can hope.' |

A wry smile crossed Black Diamond's face as Arquin affirmed the purpose of mating. "Then you wouldn't be interested in me." She stated simply, shelving the idea for later and turning back to the other shops. When he mentioned the irony of her interest, she chuckled. "Yes, the irony is not lost on me, Arquin. But passing interests won't stop me from my main objectives." Recalling what Arquin had said earlier, Black Diamond went off towards the Ship Mechanic Shop, entering and pausing for a moment to look at a sign about "Gummi" ship parts. They looked like colorful gelatinous blocks slapped together to make a ship-like toy. Alright, even for organics that's an odd way to make a ship. She thought to herself before turning to other devices. Most of the stuff in the store was more engineering supplies than technology, with an abundance of wrenched, screwdrivers, and other hand tools on display, along with various chemicals such as lubricants, oils, treatments, and fuels. Moving more to the back of the store Diamond spotted actual tech pieces, seeing rows of transistors, circuit boards, cables, utility devices and such. Moving towards this area she would gently pick up a circuit board and look it over, noting the methods by which it was designed, with silicon, mercury, silver, and gold laid out in carefully efficient patterns to carry specific data in specific ways. It was fascinating to look at up close, as Diamond allowed that given limited knowledge and resources, it was quite efficient and effective. Gems were able to make Hard-Light constructs with luminal-based psuedo-organic nervous systems for computational needs, which while less efficient in some regards, allowed for more powerful and creative computers. But Gems were unique, so by taking that ability away, these devices were in perspective nothing to laugh at. "Arquin, does most organic technology work along the same concepts as these devices?" She asked, not looking behind her but assuming that he had followed. |

"Ah." Was the only responces that he gave besides listening to Black Diamond speak. He finally snapped out of it and was to his normal self. He started to speak again although rather softly as it was to himself as his acquaintance went to a different shop. "I wouldn't say not interested. More along other binding lines." Next up the two of them ended up being in a shop made for space ships. Something more along the lines that Arquin originally thought she would be interested in. There were parts of all shapes and sizes, different materials and all. "That's a rather vague question to ask. But uh, without getting into the specifics pretty much yeah. It really depends on what exactly you're looking for. If you need advanced equipment for combat or maybe something more along the lines of architecture, or really just common house hold items. It truly just depends. Where you looking for anything in specific in this shop? Or just generally looking again?" |
