Pearl:
During this debt collection period, Penacony has been re-incorporated into the IPC's distribution of shares.
But we also paid a high price — a Cornerstone was completely destroyed.
Thus, Diamond summoned everyone, with me as chair, to decide Aventurine's punishment — take away his position as one of the Ten Stonehearts.
Aventurine:
We all took an oath to treasure the Cornerstones like our own lives — but Aventurine's “death” was a necessary part of the plan.
Sugilite:
Death… This kind of unnecessary extravagance was just for yourself, wasn't it?
Topaz:
Sugilite, please don't ignore the facts and just assume things.
Jade:
By reclaiming Penacony, the Strategic Investment Department won over another vote of the seven board members.
The Ten Stonehearts have always valued results.
Obsidian:
But some value their oaths more.
Sapphire is in favor of punishment.
There's also Agate… They might be dead.
I even have to convey their opinions for them.
Just my two cents, I think we're being overly timid.
If it were me, I'd like everything become more of a… bloodbath.
Pearl:
Amber prefers to remain neutral. This is her vote.
But as an Intellitron, I… think there should be more “justice” in your life.
Sugilite:
Only one vote left.
As expected, the final verdict comes down to this one.
Opal:
Four v. four, the natural outcome.
Everyone here has always been so “united.”
We are all the same.
We band together… merely to obtain what we want.
If that's the case, why not keep “extracting” from this one?
You can come back. Your time isn't up yet.
This is also Diamond's recommendation —
For the war among the Aeons, we shall give it our all.
The mighty hammer of the Amber Lord has struck!
Since we bear the duty of the Stonehearts…
Even if we must risk our life and limb, we will follow the Preservation to the end.
All Together:
All for the Amber Lord.
