Emerald shuddered and sat down on the table, holding his gem firmly. He looked at Amber. You used to serve under White Diamond, right? Right. And you likely know she did a lot of things covertly. Look, let me cut to the point. Whether you knew it or not, White Diamond has created something that could destroy all of us. It's not a weapon, it's not corruption. It's a disease.
Some kind of weird infection... I dunno.. that somehow affects rocks. It's dangerous, and it's the reason I'm back on Earth and not of Mars. You, Thulite, the Crystal Gems, even Purple Diamond are at risk of this thing, and I need to make sure you all can stop it before it affects you. You're the only one here right now, but I'm hoping Thulite shows up soon. He really needs to hear this. As he said this, Emerald felt himself getting slightly weaker. He hunched over a bit and showed noticeable signs on agony. Without showing Amber, he took a peek at his gem from under his hand, and noticed the black spot had spread faster than he had hoped it would.
It was already spreading to the other side of his gem, and it was getting faster as time went on. Emerald covered his gem again and attempted to look OK, which wasn't really possible.
