Topaz's gem glows and project a hologram.

Topaz: Imagine this. Think that you are a small, peasant farmer on Homeworld roughly... 30k years ago.

The hologram shows how Homeworld looked 30,000 years ago.

Pyrite: Okay..

Topaz: Now imagine this. From seemingly... Fracking nowhere, a super-advanced race suddenly descends upon your planet and starts raveging and destroying everythig.

The hologram starts to show ancient alien species come to Homeworld, where they destroy and kill everything in their path.

Pyrite: That must've sucked. Are you reffering the the "black months"?

The black months, according to most historians, is the time period in which Homeworld was invaded by an ancient alien empire, and almost destroyed.

Topaz: Yes. Now stop interrupting me.

Topaz clears his voice.

Topaz: Now, as you said, the people back then were simple-minded and very supersticious. So they built this small crypt, as an honour to those who have been lost to the invaders. One day, three objects that used to belong to a certain folk, who's name was long lost in the history books and in legends, are placed onto this altar, to honour him. Suddenly, the altar starts glowing, and soon enough, an almost god-like figure descends from what gems today call "the Astral Plane".

Pyrite: So far I believe you... There have been many records to prove the Black Months did exist. However, what I don't believe is this "Astral Plane" mumbo-jumbo.

Topaz: Shut up and let me finish. Now, that being was on their side. Its powers were tramendous. With its powers, the alien invaders were pushed away from Homeworld, and effectively wiped out. The rest of the story is lost in time, since most ancient records of that time were destroyed, most likely by the DA.

Pyrite: I don't believe you. Plenty other reasons why the invaders could have been driven away and gone extinct exist. Most of them far more believable than "gem magic".
