Taking Risks
Steven: I think your plan is too risky.
Garnet: There is no such thing as a perfect plan, Steven, there will always be risks to take.
Steven: But this one has too many risks, and I don't think it's worth taking!
Garnet: Don't be so negative, Steven, you decrease the chances of success.
Steven: The thing is, if we fail, you guys will just have your memories erased, but Connie and I will be killed!
Garnet: Yeah, that's for sure.
Steven: See, that's exactly what I'm talking about! I could never forgive myself for Connie losing her life because of me!
Connie: Maybe you're right, Steven. Still, you have to look on the bright side too, not just highlight the bad.
Steven: Connie, aren't you afraid?
Connie: Of course I'm afraid, and how can I not be? I'm just a simple human in the middle of a battle of super-powered aliens. I am aware that at any minute I could die in a horrible way, but that was the risk I took the very moment I decided to help you.
Steven: How can you say that so calmly?
Connie: I don't know. I just think there's nothing wrong with holding on to the only hope you have, no matter how small.
Steven: So, you're telling me that I should just ignore my fears?
Connie: No, obviously not. It's just that if you don't control your fears, they won't control you.
Garnet: Exactly.
Steven: Hmm... *sighs* Let what has to happen happen happen. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, am I right? If we have to die; then we'll all die together!
Pearl: I think your mother said something similar before.
Steven: Alright, let's get on with it then!
Connie: Not yet, first of all we have to find out where the ringleaders' base is.
Steven: Now that you mention it, none of our undercover Gems told us anything about it.
Connie: The Palace certainly isn't their main base, that's already been confirmed, so their main base must be somewhere else, the question is where.
Steven: Do either of you have any idea where it might be?
Amethyst: Beats me.
Pearl: Same here.
Steven: What about you, Garnet, don't you know anything about it? If I remember correctly, you were a high-ranking Gem in there, weren't you?
Garnet: I don't know anything either.
Steven: I see. There's nothing to do then.
Garnet: I may not know where their main base is, but... I do have an idea where it might be.
Steven: Where?!
Garnet: You see, it always struck me as odd that White Diamond's ship was heavily guarded at all times, at first glance there is no reason for it; however, no one but the top brass can get in there.
Steven: Suspicious, don't you think?
Connie: They must be hiding something important in there.
Garnet: Or someone.
Steven: Do you think there is a ringleader in that ship? That would be their base of operations?
Garnet: The odds are high.
Steven: What're we waitin' for then?! Let's check it out!
Connie: Let's not get ahead of ourselves. First of all we have to plan a good combat strategy.
Steven: You're right, sorry
Connie: We have to plan this carefully, but in case something goes wrong, we should take control of the ship and make a run for it.
Steven: That's actually a better idea.
