3rd Person P.O.V.

[Cryptographic Sequencer] Access granted.

(Phoebe) Oh, my God. We figured it out.

(Steven) Now to see what's hiding in it.

[Cryptographic Sequencer] Playable audio is available. Play audio?

He selected yes.

[Cryptographic Sequencer] Processing audio... Now playing: Pink_Diamond.mp4

[Cryptographic Sequencer] Pink Diamond was the last Diamond we created. She was meant to be the joyful one out of the four. But she was the most immature out of the all--

[Cryptographic Sequencer] Pink Diamond was a mistake. The other three had a least a purpose while Pink is just plain useless. Listen to this:

[Cryptographic Sequencer] Yellow, please!

[Cryptographic Sequencer] You're pleading? You just destroyed the ballroom and humiliated all of us!

[Cryptographic Sequencer] It was an accid-- [THWACK] [THUD]

[Cryptographic Sequencer] (whimpering)

[Cryptographic Sequencer] Do you know how hard it'll be for us to excuse your behavior?!

[Cryptographic Sequencer] I'm sorr-- [POOF]

[Cryptographic Sequencer] Maybe some time in a bubble will teach you better.

[Click]

[Cryptographic Sequencer] --four Diamonds. She is also the smallest of them, but size doesn't matter. All that matters is the thought.

[Cryptographic Sequencer] End of audio file. Replay?

Steven closed the file.

(Phoebe) Steven... who was on the message?

(Steven) The voices, I don't know. But, I do know we just heard a recording of Pink's abuse from Yellow Diamond.

She gasped.

(Phoebe) She beaten her?

(Steven) Unfortunately, yes.

(Phoebe) Dear God. Why?

(Steven) It was her form of discipline. Clearly, it didn't work. But if it weren't for that, Earth probably wouldn't be here since the start of humanity. But we can never know for sure.

(Phoebe) That doesn't mean it was right.

(Steven) Of course, it wasn't justified. And Blue and White's discipline wasn't justified either.

(Phoebe) What did they do?

(Steven) Worse than physical abuse, I can tell you that.

Steven went to the other prohibited channel.

(Steven) I'm not even sure we should listen to the other ones.

(Phoebe) We don't have to.

(Steven) No, we do. The voice talked about creating the Diamonds. This is something I've always wanted to know.

(Phoebe) Why don't you ask the Diamonds?

(Steven) They don't remember their creator, or creators.

He went to the prohibited channel.
