Steven p: Just go. I got this.
They seemed reluctant but still go back.
Steven p: Alright Steven. I firmly said to myself. You said you've got this and you do.
I armed my shield ready to whoever was coming, but the person who appears wasn't really a "person". It was like one of the marble robots of Peridot, but bigger and cheaper, with four purple lights on the middle of their body.
They suddenly said: Intruder possessing a gem weapon.....Chance to be a gem. They stopped. Additional data...Analysis......Aspect of the intruder.....Chance to be "The crystal gem Steven".....84%.....parameter invalid.....Must have total confirmation. The "eyes" turn blue. Activated mode investigation.....Are you the member of the crystal gem "Steven"?
Steven p: Well yes but...
They interrupted me: Confirmation complete.......priority objective.....You are captured by me......follow me to the lead scientific office!
Steven p: Hum...do the lead scientific is in charge of any travel in dimensions?
Andrew: Among other things yes. The light turns red. Follow me now!
Steven p: Alright alright. I put away my shield. I'm coming!
Three of their eyes spin to the other side of his head/body and he starts walking backward by the hallway he came. I follow them closely as they kept a literal eye on me. Steven has told me what happen in the forecast hall, well their version of the place, and how they fought an "androïde" name Andrew, and how it was impossible to fight it alone. But I didn't feel trapped, I was gonna met someone who could help me come back home if they accept, and they would, maybe.
I see something was off: How come their no one here?
Andrew: Lunch break.
Steven: But, won't that mean the lead scientific is on lunch break?
Andrew: No......She doesn't eat.
Steven: That okay. I've got a friend who doesn't eat.....too. I just realized what that could mean.
We had reached a round the door. With a "beep" the door open by themself, it was big enough for the Andrew-bot to come in. Inside there were dozens of plans all over the place with gem writing on it, and a curtain of protection with someone working the other side.
Lead scientific: I specifically ask not to be disturbed.
Andrew: Androïde-7-1-4-6-1-1-5 successfully completed the priority objective.
They push aside the curtain: What do you...
They look me with surprise and curiosity, but I'm pretty sure I was more surprised than her because I knew who she was. She was the gem who help Hessonite when she attack us a while ago. She was a Peridot with limb enhancers, her green gem where a left eye is supposed to be and a haircut like Garnet but yellow.
Steven p: Squaridot. I whispered with a little voice.
Andrew: Do you need assistance with something?
She angrily push Andrew away: No ! Make sure the hallways don't get soil!
He didn't seem to notice she was condescending: Change of priority objective.....Make sure the hallways don't get soil.
He then goes back letting us alone. She didn't let me explain anything. She takes me and put me on a medical chair, like in a hospital, and start examining me.
She makes a screen with her "finger": Log date 8-6-2. It seems one of the "Andrew" has retrieve the Steven responsible for the deterioration of the window.
Steven p: Wait! I didn't do anything to the window thing.
She raised an eyebrow: So you're saying you are not the Steven?
Steven p: Well. I'm A Steven, but not THE Steven who did whatever he did. Until now my charm didn't seem to work. You see I was in my universe when......
Squaridot: Alternate dimension ?! I nod. Humm. She shows a picture of the other me on her screen. It seems the Steven finds a way to summoning a version of themself from another universe. Even though it means the window is operative, it's still doesn't explain how he bypass the security of the computer. She sighed then watch me. I'm now going proceed to a study of the specimen.
She spreads my eyebrow with her fingers and another one makes a flash.
Sqaridot: It seems the visual sphere is different from a steven to another. She snatches some of my hair. The heat keeper skull presents some similarity but the style is quite oppose. She pulls up my shirt. The location and the type of gem also seem different, but it's too soon to declare it. I pull down my shirt with indignation. She ignored me and walked to a table with tools on it. Part one of the study completed. She close her log. Would you be quiet?
I started to be angry: Listen to me for a second. She finally took me with attention. I don't know how I came here, but I was hoping you could help me go back home. I did my most cute look.
Squaridot: Why would I do that?
Steven p: Hum? Because you think I'm adorable?
Squaridot: I don't have time for that. All of her fingers take a different tool, and all of them was really....sharp. Now stay still for a minute I need to see if you're absorbed any dimension junk.
Steven p: Wohohoho. I step down of the chair. Are you going to dissect me?
Squaridot: Of course not, you way to valuable. It's a simple vivisection.
