['jobs' were different on Homeworld. an assignment from the diamonds was the handing down of an iron will, as unbreakable as the gems who commanded it themselves. their power was what had forced her to earth to begin with, in addition to her unhappy return. to go against a task was complete betrayal.
the jobs they were assigned here bore too many similarities for Lapis to ignore. they'd been given directly from the authority which controlled the nanites in their bloodstreams, the things capable of tearing away the abilities that might empower them to resist at a moment's notice. who could say that they wouldn't take similar offense to simply abandoning their designated roles? it wasn't a risk that Lapis was willing to take.]
