My take on Peridot's experience before catch and release. And after the return.

What's happening? How did the Pearl manage to drive the ship? Where did Jasper and Lazuli end up? Where am I? Thoughts raced through Peridot's head as she struggled to steer her escape pod. It needed to charge and she was frantically searching for a landmark she knew where she could safely land and allow her pod to begin the self-charging process. She cursed herself under her breath. "I knew I should have invested in the model that charges during flight!" The Galaxy Warp wasn't too far away, maybe, just maybe, she could push the battery for that long.
"Come on," she muttered under her breath, praying she had enough charge to make it to the Galaxy Warp. "Come on, just a bit further," Her heart sank as she heard the engine sputter and die. She was falling. Oh geez, this is gonna hurt! She thought. The ground came closer. She saw a field, heard a crash, and cried out as a sharp jab of pain spiked up. She couldn't tell what hurt. Probably everything. A sharp light, then the world faded.
