Peridot was stood in the living room of the temple about to give a presentation to the Gems who were sat down on the couch.
"Ahem, ahem. As it seems I have no other options, I have conceded to reveal some important information to you Crystal Gems." She says. Peridot then snaps her fingers, cuing Y/n to help Steven shuffle in, who was wearing a box with a crudely drawn picture of Earth on it.
"This!" Peridot, using a flyswatter as a pointer, smacks the box.
"Woah!" Steven teeters in surprise.
"... Is the Earth." Peridot continues. "At the very center of the planet's core lies... the Cluster! Rotate."
Y/n begins turning the box now to show a representation of the Earth's core and the Cluster inside.
Peridot points at the illustration. "This is the Cluster. A massive, artificial fusion composed of millions of Gem shards. It has laid dormant for thousands of years within this planet's crust. When this Gem activates and takes its form, the result will be catastrophic. Now!" She hits the box again*
Steven turns back to the Earth picture and bobs up and down, making escalating noises. "BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Steven cries as a green snake-like puppet then bursts through the box and the Gems gasps.
"What is that!?" Peridot asks him.
"It's the Cluster." Steven speaks with the puppet.
Peridot swats the puppet with the flyswatter. "It does not look like that. But it is real, and it can activate at any moment!"
"Bwaaaah." Steven says in a hushed tone.
"What a cluster." Amethyst says sarcastically.
"That abomination must be stopped." Garnet says now.
"But how?" Pearl begins to ask. "We'll need to build some sort of machine to take us to the center of the Earth, it'll have to..."
Peridot suddenly swats at Pearl and interrupts her. "Hey! I wasn't finished speaking! What we need is to build some sort of machine to take us to the center of the Earth."
Pearl starts glaring at Peridot in annoyance. Amethyst looks at Pearl and smiles sarcastically. Pearl then glares at Amethyst, causing her to stop.
"It'll need to withstand up to 360 gigapascals of pressure and temperatures of 9800 degrees." Peridot finishes.
"Well, we should get started straight away, the more time we waste the closer that Cluster is to emerging." Y/n comments.
Pearl nods her head in agreement. "We need to start finding parts for this machine immediately." She says.
"Yes. Obviously. We'll start by dismantling all devices inside this dwelling."
"Wha...?" Steven stammers.
Peridot runs to the kitchen and grabs the microwave. "This primitive radiation concentrator should come in handy!" Peridot tears the microwave off the cupboard and throws it on the counter.
She then grabs a corded phone from the living room. "This primitive vibration transmitter could possibly serve a function!" Peridot smashes the dials on the table, splitting it in half.
She then runs up to Steven's room and lifts up the television. "There's a remote chance something useful could be inside this primitive image cube!" Peridot smashes the TV on the floor.
