(*Warning: Peridot in Distress*)
Fear
"Log Date, 1-3-8. This is Peridot, Communicating from the recently vacated Kindergarten: Prime. I have recently reformed and, according to my screen, it's been fifty years since my last conscious thought. I-"
Peridot stuttered, watching her hand glitch uncontrollably for a moment. She sucked in a breath, before turning back to the voice recorder attached to her limb enhancer. "I-I am alone. I can hear no other gems, nor can I detect any working machinery nearby… I require immediate assistance, from any other life forms available. Organic, or not, I need help. I-i…" There was a choked sound from the green alien, and her voice became shaky, and there was a new note of desperation in her voice. "M-My gem is c-cracked, and I c-can't move… i-I'm trapped in a c-crevice of s-some sorts… p-please, if a-anyone… ANYONE c-can hear me, please…" Peridot shook, and let out a cry of pain as her gem sparked, and she was reminded of the spiderweb crack that kept her dangerously weak.
She gritted her teeth, ignoring the pain and tried for the millionth time to snake out of the crevice. Based on her position, her gem had fallen between two rocks, and between then and her recent reform, had molded around her form. Her upper body was free, but she could not move anything below her waist. Any strength she had was swiftly sucked away, for the cracks on her gem kept all her energy held hostage by pain. Every few earth rotations around its axis, Peridot struggled against her frustrating trap, but it only led to her becoming exhausted, and more hopelessness filling her. Her limb enhancer screen had miraculously survived, but there was no way to know if someone would even pick up her signal.
She stopped her struggles, letting out a gasp that melted into a choked sob. Every few seconds she would glitch, and her cracked gem would spark in warning. After several minutes of this cycle, Peridot finally collected herself. Despite her situation, despite the pain she was in, she could not show weakness. She was one of the first Peridot's ever created, the first to ever land on this colony. She was a trained technician, a certified Kindergartener!
Emotions such as fear were not to be tolerated.
"My name is Peridot. I am among the first Peridots created by orders of Yellow Diamond. I am alone in the Prime Kindergarten, located on the Earth Colony. I… I am uncertain how much time has passed since my deformation. My gem is in severe damage, and I require assistance to freedom. I-if any gems are out there, if a-anyone is listening, please come to m-my location…" Peridot stopped, before squeezing her eyes shut, burying her head into her arms. "Please h-Help me…"
"I-I'm scared."
