"It might be too messy." She shrugs ever so slightly. "They don't really seem much for the whole direct killing here." Lapis still can't figure out what it is that the Star Creche is apparently selling on the black market. Complexes? Aren't those normally human housing areas?
There's nothing like that here. Besides, they wouldn't be fighting a war to sell things off land on the black market. That'd be a little noticeable.
"Gene complexes." Lapis breathes suddenly, and it clicks into place. The words probably come suddenly to Jasper. They're selling their genes on the black market. Of course they are, because if Diya and Amai had found it fitting to try and create Ba with them, then they're valuable.
They're valuable because humans don't normally have powers. Anyone in possession of Gem powers could do a lot of damage.
"Jasper, they're selling our genes on the black market!" It's a quiet, almost frantic realization.
