Except it's on Earth, an ancient gem colony where a Civil War happened and Homeworld retreated, thus they have to expect there are gems being hostile to Homeworld. Except it's about the Cluster, a gem geoweapon still in experiment (or else I don't know why Homeworld would care to check about it) that can be the size of a planet.

This is not a normal mission. And even more : Lapis told her about the gems ; She knows the gems have destroyed the Homeworld Warp and the Facet Five complex. Peridot may not care about history, but she cares about her mission. If Peridot knows there is a threat on Earth, she might care about why there are gems here ?

How come she have read "a 100 years of reports" about the Cluster but not even the smallest about a Civil War on Earth, except if everything about the Civil War was hidden from common gems ? It was a simple mission. But they expected opposition, so theys sent a red eye to check. It didn't say there were gems, so she was fine. She went to check, and found out the warp was down, she fixed it, left, and it went down again. She did it wirelessly, and suddenly starnge, ragtag gems appeared. They claimed to be a representative of a large gem faction creating a large rebellion thousands of years ago, on a planet with no gems and with these few gems being ragtag and weak. Of course she would question them being crystal gems.

Suddenly, another gem appeared. She had been to earth, and so they asked about these gems forcefully. They confirmed that they were crystal gems, and so they got an appropriately strong bodyguard, and the informant, and set off to do the mission. She recognized that they protect the earth, and knows that the cluster will destroy it. She decides with jasper that they will capture them, and check on the cluster. From there, you saw what happened. Why would she care about the leader of the rebellion, the rebellion ended, and the earth was about to fall, and she would be captured. There was no need to prioritize rose. Jasper disagreed. Jasper waves the gun while peridot does the work. They listened to jasper.

She knows about the civil war, it has everything to do with the kindergarten and cluster, so she knows about it.
