[So there are specialized jobs for humans too. It must be different when there are so many humans compared to 28 gems on a small island. They don't have a good memory so a secretarial position wouldn't work... and writing wasn't working out with the encyclopedia either. They're not very good at fighting either... Maybe being a server or waitstaff? Or a journalist?]
What if you aren't good at anything?
That's different from gems. We don't need to breathe so we can go underwater. We have to be careful of how the salt damages our surface. And the waves can shatter us too.
They come from the moon and shatter us and bring the pieces back to the moon. Sometimes they come back with weapons made from our parts.
[There's a pause before another message comes in.]
I guess humans don't have to worry about being shattered.
