Description
Lars asked the local farmers about the phenomenon, after that he went with Peridot who was studying the soil.
- I asked and all the nearest farms, they all seem to have the same problem; they say they’ve never seen anything like this before.
- Well… I’m not surprise, I’m found these strange black particles in the soil, I studied it and I have no record of any component like this on Earth.
- So it´s something for outer space?
- I’m not sure, but its effects are too… familiar… _ she said thoughtfully
- What do you mean?
- …NEVER MIND. I want to investigate before jumping into conclusions.
- Maybe I should check the outskirt.
- Ok, I will do more tests to the soil.
In the outskirts Lars found a forest and like with all the crops in was dying and upon inspecting, he saw something that looked like vines, but these were black and moved like tentacles under the ground.
- WHAT THE…
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Steven and Lion were in front of the Connie’s house, when he knocked the door he was immediately received by the Maheswaran, when Connie saw him she gave him a hug.
After that Connie told him what was happening to her and Steven told them about their encounter with corrupted gems.
- …So even the Gems don’t know what’s going on _Dr Maheswaran said in a sad tone.
- I’m afraid that they don’t. Our best guess is that is something from Homeworld, but we don’t know what it is, how does it work or even what it wants. But they told me the will be back as soon as the discover something.
Dr. Maheswaran then noticed that her daughter had her hands on her head.
- Are you ok?
- Sorry, it’s just… that the more time passes, I feel more connected to it and all these visions… are overwhelming.
Steven gently put his hand on her shoulder to try to comfort her. Suddenly he had an idea.
- WAIT, maybe Pegruondridot knows something. I will call her.
How come she didn’t think about that before?_ Connie thought to herself. Then again she didn’t have Peridot in her contacts (she forgot to ask her the last time she saw her) and besides having these images in her head made it hard to think.
- Ok. Let’s call her.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- You saw WHAT? _Peridot ask Lars
- I told you, some strange… vines crawling under the earth _He said making a waving movement with his arm.
- Yeah, but I don’t know ANY kind of vine with the description that you gave me.
- Well, I’m just telling you what I saw _Lars crossed his arms uppset__ Either way I need a shovel if you wanna me to help you.
They suddenly were interrupted by Peridot’s tablet.
- It’s Steven _ she said watching the screen.
She answered, Lars was upset by the interruption, but hearing the conversation and the concern of Peridot’s voice he knew that it was something serious.
- Ok, I will wait until you pick me up _ she ended the call_ It was Steven something happened to Connie and for what he said I think is connected to whatever it’s happening here.
Before Lars could speak Steven arrived with Lion.
- Peridot thank you so much for the help and… Lars? What are you doing here?
- Hey Steven, I’m just helping Peridot with her crop _Then he looked at Peridot__ By the way, if you don´t mind I will continue to investigate here on my own.
- Are you sure?_Steven asked
- Hey, relax, If I find myself in trouble I can create a portal to escape. Besides, I think I am more helpfu.
- It’s fine for me _Peridot replied
- Ok _Steven was a little more corcerned__ just call me when you find something or if you need help.
- Yeah, yeah.
- And be careful.
- Hey, I told you before, don’t to worry so me.
After Steven and Peridot left, Lars took a shovel and returned to the forest. There he started digging, in a few minutes he saw that it wasn’t more dirt under him, seen this he decided to enter and for his surprise he found a large tunnel covered with the same vines he saw before.
- What the hell is this?
