When Pearl gets poofed in a freak accident, the other Gems are unable to find her until her Gem turns up at a nearby casino as a prize for an upcoming poker tournament.

It’s up to Lapis to find her inner card shark and bring Pearl back home.

The space station serves as the world’s leading laboratory for conducting cutting-edge microgravity research, and is the primary platform for technology development and testing in space to enable human and robotic exploration of destinations beyond low-Earth orbit, including Mars.
