[Amethyst is attempting to affect a casual air but she definitely sounds anxious as hell.]

Yo, so this is supposed to be for everyone in Security and the Nightrider crew but I couldn't work out how to do that 'cause I dunno how the radio works, yeah I've been here for years, don't talk to me, anyway it's not like a bunch of the rest of you aren't gonna be fighting too anyway, right? Duh. Okay, so, Peridot told me one of the fae took Jasper and Lapis, right? If that means she can, like, control them and stuff, whenever we try busting back in there we probably oughtta be keeping an eye out for if they fuse? They have -- wait, okay, fusion is... they're both gems so they can just kind of merge into a new gem who's like way bigger and tougher than either of them and I ain't explaining it any better than that.

Anyway so they got this really big mean fusion called Malachite, she's got six arms and she's really strong and she can control water, and ice, and she can fly, and she's uhhh... bigger than a house, so... watch out for that, I guess, 'cause if I was a fae and I'd just kidnapped some gems who could do that I'd definitely make them do that. I fought her one time and it sucked. Probably your best bet is to stick something big 'n pointy through her but that's tough because, like I said, bigger than a house, six arms, right? But when we took her down we did it with a giant arrow and that worked pretty good. Okay, that's all I got, don't ask me about how fusion works. Cool. Bye.

I suddenly have more questions than answers.

[drrdrrdrr]

Well, as long as they ain't about gem science, I'm your girl.

[osteothropy]

Nuts. That was my first one.

[But he'll spare her the trolling, this time.]

Do you have much experience with the psychological aspect? Are we dealing with a mixture of both of them or a different person? Lapis and Jasper didn't really get along, as far as I knew.

[drrdrrdrr]

Oh, geez, uhh... well, okay, I'm not like an expert on this stuff but I've been in a few fusions and usually it's like... you're kind of a different person but you're also kinda not? It can break up if you're not really in sync. But Malachite is kind of different 'cause Lapis tricked Jasper into fusing in the first place so she could trap her in the ocean to stop her from attacking us, so she was... well, to start out with it was like she was straight up the two of them fighting each other in one big scary body, but when we had to fight her later on I think they were both on board...? Honestly I got no idea what was going on in there. That whole thing was a total mess.

[textsfromhotland]

And they can just... come apart again? No one dies?

[betheman]

Auh.... F...fusion..?

[Please, Explain-] I, the man Gongenzaka, presume this is something they must very deliberately trigger, then..?

[worldlyafflictions]

[Oh, so poofing into a gem is just a thing they do and they're fine...]

'Just put a big arrow through her' almost sounds doable.

[drrdrrdrr]

Yup.

[drrdrrdrr]

It's pretty tough to do it accidentally, yeah.

[drrdrrdrr]

It'd have to be pretty big, like, maybe if we had a catapult or something? I dunno. Probably gotta be at least a little magic, too...

[betheman]

Hmmmm...if that is the case, could forcing them to divide perhaps be as simple as causing them to lose focus from the other?

[textsfromhotland]

W-w-what!? But how? That shouldn't be possible!!

[alphys she literally just said not to ask how it works]

[drrdrrdrr]

Eh, not really. I mean, with some fusions I guess, but I mean, I dunno what you wanna do, like, distract them? That's gonna be pretty hard if they're being mind controlled by fae or whatever.

[drrdrrdrr]

Gems aren't made outta meat, dude, I dunno what to tell ya.

[betheman]

Hmmm...

[Ah- he pauses for a moment, before answering.] AUH-! T-Truthfully, I, the man Gongenzaka...am not actually certain I shall likely encounter them...

However....! [Chimes a second voice as his daemon pipes up,] It is best to put our heads together regardless, after all! Brainstorming now will make it easier for anyone who does pursue the one that took these two!

...especially if the only other option is... ...A giant arrow, you said?

That is...quite specific, indeed...
