Steven Universe

And Steven!

The Human Zoo. I can't believe it still exists.

Dad's got to be in there.

We just have to find him and bust him out.

Those Gems.

Amethyst guards.

Right.

Like we could just waltz up

as an ownerless Pearl, a Fusion,

and... and you.

We just need disguises. I'll be Esteban Universedad.

Steven, it doesn't matter what your name is.

We're all going to stand out.

We won't stand out

if we play the roles we were made for.

Ruby! Sapphire!

Okay everybody, hear her out.

Today, I'm a Sapphire traveling with my Ruby guard...

Hm!

And my personal Pearl.

Mm-hmm!

Esteban, I've brought you as an offering for the zoo.

Pobrecito Esteban!

Uh, what about me?

You're accompanying me as extra muscle.

Muscle like them?

Exactly.

But I've never even seen another Amethyst before.

What do I do? - What if I say something wrong?

Just look the part.

You're new and we're rusty,

but we just have to sell this long enough to find Greg.

Is this really going to work?

No.

Uh? - Eh...

Just stick together, play it straight.

Let's change the future.

You'll never cage me, ya rock heads!

State your purpose.

I'm here to make a delivery to the Human Zoo.

Bad news... - the Human Zoo shut down,

which means we'll just have to throw you into space.

Ha! Look. It believed me.

What are you doing?

Nothing, Holly Blue Agate. Nothing, Holly Blue Agate.

Why didn't you tell me

there was a Sapphire here?

What have you miscreants been saying to them?

Nothing, Holly.

You'll have to forgive them.

They're from Earth.

Ahem! Apologize.

Forgive us. - Forgive us.

Ow!

Forgive us, Your Clarity. Forgive us, Your Clarity.

No use dwelling on the past.

I've brought a new human for the collection.

How unprecedented...

nothing for millennia

and then two humans back-to-back!

Well, it's probably for the best.

That first one wasn't in the... best condition.

Dad! That's him! - Shh!

Oh, they're incessant barking! What is it saying?

The other one was loud too.

And all that thrashing about.

I'm sure Blue Diamond will want to thank you personally,

but you just missed her.

Amethyst, - take this human to the...

Wait!

The thing is we've traveled so far,

and it would be a shame to leave so quickly.

Perhaps you'd grant us a tour of the facility?

I would be honored.

Right this way, Your Grand Clarity.

Amethysts are to stay and guard the door.

Uh, but...

The door.

Does your Pearl - always walk next to you?

I'll just be right here.

Hmm. Chatty.

This facility originally belonged to Pink Diamond

and houses and staffs the otherwise useless Quartzes

she produced on what was her colony.

But Blue Diamond and her trusted Agate...

that's me...

have been maintaining this place since the dawn of Era 2.

Is she going to do it, or should I say something?

Oh.

Pearl, the door.

Hm? Oh!

Right, right.

I got it.

You are so patient with her.

How do you do it?

As a Sapphire, I know it will happen eventually.

That will be all.

Sorry.

Hang in there.

Do keep up, Pearl.

Ugh.

The bottom half of this structure

is devoted entirely to specimen containment.

Apparently, humans don't take well to captivity.

But once you understand their needs,

they're easy to control.

It's tragic that Pink Diamond's existence in this universe

ended up being so finite.

But what a selfless act for Blue Diamond

to step forward and spend her own time and energy

preserving this place in Pink Diamond's memory.

It's a real testament to Blue Diamond's merciful

and giving nature, don't you think?

Uh, of course.

Argh.

Hold it together, Ruby. Our roles, remember?

Gotta Esteban it.

And here, of course, is the human disposal chute.

Wha...

H-How do get in the zoo?

Oh, there it goes again with its hilarious noises.

So, how do you get in the zoo?
