[Open Ext. The Barn]

(You and The Crystal Gems are gathered around the drill they recently completed, while Peridot is nowhere to be found.)

Amethyst: How much longer 'till we can use the drill?

Pearl: Well, with the new coordinates we got from the moon base, it should be ready to go. But we really should perform a few tests first.

Y/N: (Whispers) Psst Steven, Look

(You and Steven see Peridot sneaking into the barn and follow her. Peridot fumbles with the prism she retrieved from the Moon Base in "It Could've Been Great". She quickly hides it behind her back when she sees You and Steven.)

Peridot: Oh! Y/N, Steven.

Y/N: Uh, Hey, Peridot can we talk?

Peridot: Uhhh, yeah! Sure!

(You, Steven and Peridot enter the truck that is parked inside the barn)

Peridot: Why are we in this broken-down vehicle?

(Steven continues to observe the prism Peridot is hiding.)

Steven: I wanted to ask you...about the Diamonds?

Peridot: Oh! I don't know what the others have told you, but there's a reason they're in charge.

Y/N: Because?

Peridot: They're objectively better than us. Every Gem has their strengths and weaknesses, but not them. They're absolutely totally completely flawless beings! Especially my diamond, Yellow Diamond, the most perfect, the most reasonable, rational, efficient decider ever to exist in the universe!

Steven: You're really loyal to her, aren't you?

Peridot: How could I not be? We might have our little truce, but I'll never forsake the Gem I was made for!

Steven: That's good, because... she's right behind you!

Peridot: WHAT?

(Peridot turns around and You swipe the prism from her. You and Steven then exit the truck and locks Peridot inside.)

Peridot: *screams* Ahh, no! Ahh!

Steven: Save your strength! You're up against one of the earth's greatest trapping technologies: the child safety lock!

Peridot: *gasps and cowers* Oh, no! How could you do this to me, the great and lovable Peridot?! I thought we were finally friends like you wanted...

Steven: I saw you sneak this off the moon base while nobody else was looking! *holding up the prism* 

Y/N: What is it anyway, Why do you need this?

Peridot: It's nothing special. And definitely not important at all.

Y/N: Really, If it's not important then we should just destroy it

Peridot:  Y-You're bluffing

Y/N: Hmm, Steven

Steven: *picks up a hammer lying on the floor* Then why don't I just smash it!

Peridot: Nonononono, wait! 

Y/N: Then Spill

Peridot: All right, look. I have a plan. Allow me to explain... It's... a communicator. Meant for the express purpose of contacting the Diamonds back on Homeworld.

Steven: You're still trying to contact Homeworld?

Peridot: Yes, of course! I figured it out. You simple clods keep trying to protect the earth, but you can't do anything right! I let myself get carried away, too... laughing, singing, building our little machine... but don't you see? None of that matters! All that matters is that I'm of use to Yellow Diamond! This planet can be of use to Yellow Diamond! I must contact her, to reveal what I've discovered!
