Far away from those fields, in a frozen land of snow and thick trees, another Ruby was at work. As the diligent soldier of Homeworld pressed her hand to a stone surface, an entire mountain rumbled and shifted about, stone pulling back to form an entrance. Ruby glanced over her shoulder, looking out to the frigid yet surprisingly verdant landscape behind her. For a moment, thoughts of the wars over this thriving rock played out in her mind. Brushing them back, she continued about her work, disappearing into the dark recesses of the mountain's inner sanctum, grumbling to herself, "If Jasper isn't to be found, then we'll just have to cull the rebels ourselves."
Sapphire opened her eye and reached out for someone that wasn't there. She only found Pearl, ever stalwart in her defense of the place, spear at the ready. Pearl looked to her friend, speaking briefly, "Any luck?"
The clairvoyant gem only shuddered. "Plenty of Rubies, but none of them mine."
Pearl, trying to be optimistic, to hold the team together, chanced an uplifting smile, "Then we'll just have to find our Ruby the old fashioned way!"
To this, Sapphire descended from her seat and only offered a solemn sigh. It would help nothing to tell Pearl of the myriad of dark futures she had seen. All that could be done now was to rally forth and forge a tomorrow worth fighting for.

Shiro has been removed from the game as a part of an effect. This will not cause the stress to change.
