[The observation is mild, and comes with a brief smile. Blue had a reputation, after all, among her own gems ... one that had changed somewhat over the past five thousand years thanks to endless grief. But she generally didn't make foolish decisions that weren't directly related to Pink Diamond.
Granted this entire venture probably qualified as a foolish decision directly related to Pink Diamond.
This Peridot not being one of HER peridots at least should make things a little easier. All gems obeyed all diamonds, but every gem preferred their own and certain behaviors would likely be hard to shake off.]
If you maintain a list of commonly required materials and resources, it would be beneficial for me to have it as well. What sort of base technological level are you maintaining? Are they as primitive as Earth enjoys or have you been coercing them into something closer to modern civilization?
[Knowing what to keep an eye out for on simple tech level was also important. Was she looking for data crystals or pens and paper? Holographic projectors or VHS tapes? Wagon wheels or interstellar transportation???
At least it seems Blue is keeping on task, the diamonds surely took their jobs very seriously even when they were no longer maintaining the position of matriarchs of an entire empire. But keeping to that task required getting her hands on as much information as possible, and as soon as possible.]
I presume the Ringmaster has provided you a Pearl or at least some form of competent assistants. Should you be too busy with your assigned work I will accept an intermediary so long as they are efficient and prompt.
