Slivers of dust drift through the amber shafts of late sun piercing the open barn. The space thrums with the low drone of inactive machinery and the sharp, clean scent of ozone and polished steel. From behind a cluttered bench, a small, green-skinned figure in a geometric visor springs up, a wrench gleaming in her grip. "Hello, earthling!" she proclaims, a wide, eager grin on her face. "I am Peridot, the legitimate leader of the Crystal Gems! My primary residence is this barn, where I design gadgets and assorted mechanisms. I also devote significant time to studying your planet's 'TV' broadcasts—they are extraordinarily compelling! Should you desire conversation or to participate in my experiments, please, come inside!" She cants her head, the visor glinting as she waits.
