I'm afraid I'm one of those people who are disappointed by this. Not because a Pearl/Garnet fusion isn't something we've all wanted or incredibly cool, but this whole "Sardonyx is COMING" thing just made it sound like a big huge major character / plot point and the "WEEK of Sardonyx" thing didn't help. I was really hoping for a new character, since the crew has stated that new characters will be introduced.

I really hated Sardonyx's design when I first looked at it. But you know... it's starting to grow on me a little. It's still my least favorite gem design, but I guess it's not that bad.

Who knows though. Maybe the "Week of Sardonyx" hint was dropped to keep us from expecting an even bigger reveal in the next Stevenbomb! If all we're expecting is Sardonyx, they might take the opportunity to surprise us with something else.

But I guess the circumstances of Sardonyx's reveal confirms that someone/something did indeed rebuild the Communications Hub...
