Peridot is seen about to give a presentation to the Gems.
Peridot snaps her fingers, cuing Turquoise to help Steven shuffle in, wearing a box with a crudely drawn picture of Earth on it. Peridot, using a flyswatter as a pointer, smacks the box.
"This!"
"Steven teeters in surprise."Woah!"
... Is the Earth. At the very centre of the planet's core lies... the Cluster! Rotate." Peridot Begins to explain
Steven complies that turquoise helps to turn the box 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!" Peridot, she hits the box again
Steven turns back to the Earth picture and bobs up and down, making escalating noises. A green snake-like puppet then bursts through the box, and the Gems gasps. "BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
"What is that!?" Peridot asks
Steven speaks with the puppet. "It's the Cluster."
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 asks sarcastically
"That abomination must be stopped." Garnet cuts in
"But how? We'll need to build some sort of machine to take us to the centre of the Earth, it'll have to -" Pearl begins to think
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 centre 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 states
"My ice seems to be pretty much unbreakable unless I break it, so it could be of use, but I didn't know how it'll hold up th those temperatures."
"Well, we mustn't waste time. We need to start finding parts for this machine immediately." Pearl says
"Yes. Obviously. We'll start by dismantling all devices inside this dwelling." Peridot says
"Wha?" Steven questions
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. Turquoise then walks up to Steven's room and lifts up the television.
"Clever thinking the Turquoise there's probably plenty of good parts in that primitive image cube," Peridot states, but right as Turquoise is about to smash the TV
"Wait!" runs up to Peridot and Turquoise."I have a better idea that doesn't involve destroying the house!"
"Classic Steven," Amethyst says
"I apologise I did not mean to almost smash." He looks at the TV confused. "Whatever this thing is," Turquoise says as he puts the TV down
