[the Rubies walk up the moon base stairway followed by Amethyst (disguised as Jasper), Pearl, Garnet and Steven]
The Earth was Pink Diamond's colony. Everything was going smoothly at first. Kindergartens were incubating their first soldiers—big, warm pieces of quartz, like this mountain over here—were being created from its rich minerals with great success. Then, bam! One of Pink Diamond's very own quartz soldiers started a rebellion and took it too far. Where were you when that happened?
Oh, you know... around. ["Eyeball" turns to Amethyst]
I was there. I saw it with my own eye. I watched the leader of the Crystal Gems, Rose Quartz... [projects her light on the mural] shatter Pink Diamond!
[Steven looks up in his horror; Garnet is frozen still for a beat, Pearl starts shivering in fear]
No... [beat] Rose Quartz w-would never do that! [tearing up] A-And, sure, she had to fight but... But she would never shatter someone!
