Peridot is seen holding a tape recorder and speaking into it, using it to record all of her logs ever since her limb enhancers were thrown off the Galaxy Warp

Peridot: Log date 7-11-2. It's the third rotation of the since commencements of a... 

peridot inhales deeply

Peridot: ...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 recording on her recorder

Peridot: Remind me again why I should listen to you?

You walk up just as peridot rewinds her tape recorder

tape recorder peridot: "...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."

Y/n: woah thats cool!

amethyst just snickers 

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

-------------------

flashback to peridot on a boat with the rest of the crystal gems while you went underwater and pulled up torn up bits of peridots limb enhancers which showed no sign of being able to work again 

--------------

"Clods!" Peridot fast-forwards

 "Muddy clods!" 

Peridot fast-forwards

 "-running out of ways to say "clods"!"

Garnet: alright I chased away those cows, lets get to work

Peridot clears her throat 

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

Everyone except for you breaks into an uncomfortable silence as Steven, Amethyst, and Pearl look at Garnet.

Y/n: wait your a fusion? wonder who makes up garnet? eh not that I really care 

You continue working 

 Garnet then ties Peridot to a fence with a child leash and leaves her be.

Peridot: What?! ... what'd I say?!

Steven: Do we really have to do that?

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

Y/n: well thats a bit childish 

garnet then tries to put you on a leash but you just tear through it 

Garnet: welp I give up

You sit with peridot as she tries to reach for a nearby microwave, but the leash holds her back, forcing her to struggle to reach it. Meanwhile, Steven and Amethyst brings a bunch of spare parts to Pearl, who is cutting a turbine with a blowtorch.

you simply bring the microwave closer to peridot

Peridot: thanks...

Peridot grunts while working with the microwave

Peridot: if only I had some sorta leverage optimizer

Amethyst: "leverage optimizer"?

Peridot: thats what I said
