Turquoise, Garnet, and Steven warp back onto the Crystal Temple Warp Pad, with Steven still traumatized back what happened in Korea.
"This can't be happening." Steven says lowly
"Steven! You're back!" Pearl smiles
"Hey, Steve-O." Amethyst waves
"We're so sorry about earlier -" Pearl starts
"Forget that! We have to catch up with her!" Steven cuts of Pearl's sentence
"What!?"
"Who?"
"Blue Diamond." Turquoise says with gritted teeth
"Blue Diamond!?" Pearl starts panicking "O-O-On Earth!?"
"Holy smokes! They're all coming out of the woodwork."
"Amethyst, turn into a chair. I-I need to sit down."
"She took Dad! She alien-abducted him, and it's all my fault!" Steven shouts, worried
"No, Steven, it's my fault. I should have joined you over the fence and stopped her from taking Greg. " Turquoise kneels and puts his hand on Steven's shoulder
"She took Greg!?" Amethyst asks, shocked
"Our Greg?" Pearl asks
"What other Greg is there!? How are we gonna get him back!?" Amethyst yells
"What did she even want him for? To eat him!? T-to put him in a zoo!?" Steven says
"What's a Zoo?" Turquoise asks
"Wait. That might be it."
Steven gasps. "She's gonna eat him!?"
"What? No. But there was a... No. No, it couldn't possibly still exist. Not since we -" Pearl ponders
"That's right! Pink Diamond's insidious human zoo." Garnet says
"Still don't know what a Zoo is," Turquoise says, slightly fed up
"Look it up." Pearl hands Turquoise a dictionary
"What?" Steven asks
"During her reign on Earth, Pink Diamond stole humans from their families as trophies of her conquest." Garnet explains
"You gotta be kidding."
"Oh no. It was very serious. When I still served..." Pearl glances away for a moment. "...Homeworld, I saw it myself. A private menagerie deep in space. Humans in captivity. We were never able to rescue them. We had no way to get to them after the war. But that was over 5,000 years ago."
"You really think Greg's there?"
"Steven, Blue Diamond wanted him alive?" Pearl asks
"Yes! Yes! She liked him!" Steven and Turquoise nod
"I can't think of anywhere else she'd put him if she wanted to keep him, that is if the zoo's still there.StevenIt's our only chance! But, how are we going to get there?"
