【Somewhere in the deepest abandoned area on Homeworld.】
[Steven and his friends are seen sitting in a circle, discussing what their next move will be.]
Garnet: As we are all relaxed, we can now think about what we are going to do from now on.
Steven: I really have no idea what we can do from now on.
Connie: Infiltration was our best ace up our sleeve, but we just lost it, so I can't think of anything we can do either.
Pearl: There's got to be a way to get through this.
Steven: Maybe there is. I can't see one right now, though.
Amethyst: What happened to the Diamonds? They would have solved this problem by now, don't you think?
Steven: The Diamonds, we haven't heard from them for months.
Connie: We did everything in our power to contact them, but to no avail.
Pearl: Don't you think that's kind of strange? Maybe something happened to them.
Steven: Oh come on, we're talking about Diamonds, the most powerful beings in the universe, they brag about it all the time. They can clearly take care of themselves.
Amethyst: Is that so?
Steven: They went on vacation without telling anyone, you know!? I can assure you they're having the time of their lives right now, while all of us are here, in deep trouble, fighting for our lives!
Pearl: We shouldn't be so sure about that.
Amethyst: I think so too.
Steven: Please don't remind me of the Diamonds anymore, okay? Our main concern right now is to find a way out of this situation alive.
Pearl: Well, if we don't have the help of the Diamonds, we're really going to have a hard time.
Steven: I think so, too.
Amethyst: We have to try something, even if we fail!
Steven: We already tried something, and we failed miserably.
Garnet: I'm sure you did your best to bring us back.
Steven: And what good did that do in the end?! There are still countless Gems to save all over the universe! We're at a crossroads! I don't know what to do anymore!
Garnet: Don't despair, Steven, that's what they want.
Amethyst: So true.
Pearl: We'll figure something out soon, you'll see.
Connie: On second thought, how about we attack the ringleaders directly?
Steven: Huh?
Connie: So far we've been doing things in the shadows, it's a long-term but effective method, still... how about we stop hiding and attack head on?
Garnet: *adjusts her visors* Hmm, yeah, that might work.
Steven: No way, that would practically be committing suicide! We're certainly on the verge of desperation, but we don't have to go to such extremes!
Amethyst: At least not yet.
Steven: Yeah! ...Wait, what?
Connie: The thing is, if we overthrow the ringleaders, there's a good chance that the rejuvenated Gems will no longer be a problem.
Garnet: Right. They'll most likely surrender right away.
Steven: What makes you guys think that?
Garnet: As you may know, they have been forbidden to think for themselves, this is to prevent them from accidentally getting their memories back.
Connie: So they won't know how to react or act in a dangerous situation, as they need someone higher up to guide and manipulate them.
Garnet: Exactly.
Steven: Still, I'm not too sure about this.
