"Thank you for sending out a team to rescue me and the others from floating aimlessly across space."
"And thank you for telling me the whereabouts of Rose Quartz."
We join the Yellow Diamond and one of her Rubies-the "Eyeball" one-in one of the observatories on the Gem Homeworld. Here is one of the most powerful telescopes imaginable; more powerful than the Hubble. This telescope was aimed at Planet Earth, which is a zillion lightyears from the Homeworld, yet when you look through the telescope, you could swear it was only a mile away.
Through the eyepiece, the Yellow Diamond could make out Downtown Beach City coming into focus. A small tap on the side of the telescope was all she needed to see more of the area, because of the long distance. To the left was the boardwalk and its storefronts, and to the right, the Crystal Gems' temple. Outside were Steven and the Gems, working up a tan and tossing a volleyball around.
"There they are, stupid independent rebels," the Yellow Diamond muttered.
She stood aside to let the Eyeball Ruby have a look, "And you're positive that pink-black human-like thing is Rose Quartz."
"I saw it with my own eye!" said Ruby, "She had her shield, her gem was on her naval area, and she healed my cracked gem with her spit."
The Yellow Diamond was befuzzled at that last tidbit, "Healing spit? I've heard stories of Rose Quartz healing with her tears, but spit now?"
"What else can I say? Suspension of disbelief, maybe."
Eyeball leaned on the telescope, accidentally nudging it to the left, and out of range of the Earth. Quick to intervene, the Yellow Diamond carefully pushed the telescope back to its original position.
"I'd shatter you for that, but since you've been very helpful up to this point, I'll let it slide," said the Diamond looking back into the eyepiece, "Apathetic bloody planet; I've no sympathy at all."
The telescope was aimed at another part of Beach City now, the surrounding countryside. And there was the barn and cornfield, the giant drill used to reach the Cluster..and the Rubies' Roaming Eye. The Yellow Diamond spotted someone familiar emerge from the barn.
"There's Peridot, the little traitor. Now she's gone and disabled my Cluster. I've worked hard on that...oh look. There's a Lapis Lazuli living with her. I don't even wanna know how she got roped into this."
The Yellow Diamond stood up and backed away from the telescope.
"I've seen enough," she announced, "I feel like I'm wasting gems when I send them out to do the dirty Rose Quartz work for me."
"What should we do now, my Diamond?" said Eyeball.
"Go tell my Pearl to ready my personal transport at once. I'm going to Planet Earth myself."
