The Crystal Gems gathered around the drill.
"How much longer 'till we can use the drill?" Amethyst asks.
"Well, with the new coordinates we got from the moon base, we should be ready to go. But we really should perform a few tests first." Pearl says as Steven and Isabella watch Peridot, who was sneaking into the barn.
The two follow her into the barn as the green gem quickly hides the prism she got from the Moon Base behind her back.
"Oh! Steven. Isabella."
"Peridot, we need to talk to you." Steven says.
"Uhhh, yeah! Sure!" Peridot says as the three enter the truck parked inside the barn, "Why are we in this broken-down vehicle?"
"Peridot, we wanted to ask you some information about the Diamonds." Isabella told her.
"Oh! I don't know what the others have told you, but there's a reason they're in charge."
"Why's that?" Isabella asks.
"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!"
"You're really loyal to her, aren't you?" Steven asks.
"How could I not be? We might have our little truce, but I'll never forsake the Gem I was made for!"
"That's good, because... she's right behind you!" Isabella points behind her.
"WHAT? " Peridot turns around as Steven quickly snatches the prism, Isabella opening the truck door. She and Steven quickly get out, locking the green gem inside.
"Ahh, no! Ahh!"
"Save your strength! You're up against one of the earth's greatest trapping technologies: the child safety lock! " Steven told her.
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..."
"We saw you sneak this off the moon base while nobody else was looking! What is it and what does it do?" Isabella asks as Steven holds up the prism.
"It's nothing special. And definitely not important at all." Peridot told them.
"Hmm!" Steven picks up a hammer lying on the floor, "Then why don't we just smash it!"
"Nonononono, wait! 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."
"You're still trying to contact Homeworld?" Isabella asks.
"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!"
