Thunder bellowed from out side the lighthouse, it has been 3 days since Ronald's encounter with the mysterious alien girl and since then he has been obtaining information on her and the gems from Steven in exchange for his secret stash of cookie cats.
He told him that Her name is peridot and she has come to earth from the gems home planet for unclear reasons, she has tried to dispose of the gems for "messing with her plans and destroying her things" a few times and her missing foot is in the gems precession since she sacrificed it to escape them in there last encounter.
Ronaldo took notes of this information on his phone along with a recording of her tv message to "yellow diamond" who he suspected to be the leader or dictator in the diamond authority. He replayed the message again to try and connect the dots, listening closely to the familiar voice.
"This is Peridot, transmitting from all frequencies from abandoned Crystal System on colony Planet Earth. To Yellow Diamond, my mission has been compromised. My escort and informant are gone, and I am now stranded. PLEASE SEND HELP!"
Her tone of voice in the last part always bothered him as she sounded so scared, this was understandable as she appears to be alone on an unfamiliar planet. A wave of empathy washed over him at the thought of the poor alien, even though she appears to be evil. He sighed, maybe the gems will redeem her?
His thoughts where interrupted by frantic knocking on the door. Ronaldo quickly got up from his desk and rushed to answer it, opening the door to Reveal none other than Steven, his pink glowing shield was out to protect him from the rain and Potential lightning, his face was wet with fearful tears and in his arms was a... Trianglular green gemstone that Ronaldo knew all to well.

The human gem hybrid trembled in his seat on Ronald's couch despite how he was wrapped up snugly in a blanket. Ronaldo sat besides him attempting to calm him down and Peridot's gemstone was safely placed on a small soft pillow on the desk. "I I thought we were catching h her t to get in information b but they... I DIDN'T KNOW TH THIS WOULD HAPPEN!" Steven continued to stutter in shock of what he witnessed as Ronaldo gently held him. Listening to him intently.
"We found her and... Pearl... Pearl and Amethyst attacked her un until she got proofed and... And the then Garnet tried to-" Stevens speech was brought to a stop as fresh tears fell down his face and his body fiercely trembled. Ronaldo already knew enough about gems to understand what Garnet attempted to Peridot and couldn't believe it. The gems tried to crush her gem in front of Steven?! Sure peridot tried to kill them but two wrongs don't make a right... Right?
Ronaldo continued to comfort the smallest of the crystal gems, telling him it wasn't his Fault until Steven's tears slowed down and his shaking stopped. "Ronaldo? Can I ask a big favour? Please?" Steven asked looking up at the bigger teen who nodded.
"Can you... Please look after Peridot for a while? Just until I cool things down with the gems? I think that they were REALY angry with her and it made them act like this... I may be able to talk them into giving her a chance but until then... Can you help me redeem her?"
Ronaldo smiled at the boy giving a playful salute "you can count on me agent universe!" With a hopeful smile Steven returned the gesture. "Your cooperation is much appreciated agent Fryman!"
