Peridot: Log date 7-11-2. It's the third rotation of the since commencements of a. . .collaborative approach to stopping the Cluster.

Pearl: I've finished drawing out the blueprints for the drill head. Peridot, if you could come take a look at this.

  Peridot stops the recording as she walks over to the others.

Peridot: Remind me again why I should listen to you? Oh, right.

  Peridot plays back their recording.

"...The Pearl here has exhibited an aptitude for engineering that I begrudgingly respect, though that doesn't explain the spontaneous singing, crying, singing while crying."

  Amethyst laughs at the playback as Pearl just gives an irritated look.

Pearl: Why did you give her that.

Steven: Well, we did destroy all her stuff. I thought it might make her feel a little better.

"Clods!" *fast-forwards* "Muddy clods!" *fast-forwards* "-running out of ways to say "clods"!"

  Garnet makes her way to the group with a piece of grass in her teeth.

Garnet: Alright, I chased away those cows, let's get to work.

Peridot:  Before we begin... would you mind un-fusing? It's making me incredibly uncomfortable.

  A long uncomfortable silence breaks out as everyone looks at Garnet for her response. A short time later, Garnet ties Peridot to a fence post much to her dismay.

Peridot: What?! . . . what'd I say?!

  Garnet walks back to the others as Steven looks very unsure.

Steven: Do we really have to do that?

Garnet: Her having free reign of the place made me incredibly uncomfortable

Steven: Speaking of uncomfortable. Where is Bort?

  Meanwhile with you, you stayed back at their house looking around for any tech they may have that could prove useful. Checking everything for some gem tech that they may be hiding.

Bort: Hmm, they live a primitive lifestyle. Better than me for the last hundreds of years. Oh how I miss the other nations this world offered.

  You continued speaking to yourself as you go over your memories from when you weren't hunting down Rose. The last time you faced Rose, you were bubbled, but she kept your bubble further away. You were hidden on the other side of the earth, then managed to break free some centuries after that. Memories entered your mind of you wandering, traveling, seeing the way man lived, and looking for gems to find. Traveling amongst the land, and the sea. Since There were gaps where you forgot you could fly at times.

Bort: Hmmm, nothing of great importance besides what I guess could only be classified as food for human consumption.

  Going over to the couch, you lay down and stare at the roof of the building. You were irritated as you just thought of a way to get back to the diamonds once this all was over. 

  Your thoughts brought you back to Homeworld as you dreamt of the home you once previously had. You remembered how you were made and your purpose, if even now it was just a distant memory. But as you did, you felt a surge go through the psyche of your mind forcing you to jolt up.

Bort: What the!?!?!

  You quickly look around your surroundings as you feel your head. Feeling the ringing as if static was just run through it, not at a painful scale, but enough to feel the buzz. As if something was just in your mind trying to latch onto you somehow.
