INT. CARGO HOLD (PREVIOUSLY SCENE 34)
As many extras as can possibly be squeezed into the
hold, all dressed in scruffy immigrant clothes. An
occasional cry from a baby, chickens clucking.
Accompanied by traditionally Irish instruments,
Danilo, the colony's Shan'a'kee, imparts the history.
Worf is seated with Brenna, Picard ENTERS, and leans
against a wall just listening.
DANILO
And after a long and gentle sleep
we awoke and there was Bringloid,
our dream world. Our companions
in the butterfly ship left us
off, and said they would leave
a guard in heaven to look out for
us.

DANILO (Cont'd)
They flew on in the darkness -- their
search was not yet over -- but
we had found the sun, a
world, a home.
BRENNA
And now we have lost it.
DANILO
We'll find another.
BRENNA
When? How long must we wait and
journey?
Picard's expression has been shifting as various
emotions and realizations strike him. He crosses
swiftly to Worf, leans in.
PICARD
I finally understand. That
distress satellite was left by
the Mariposans as a way to protect
the Bringloidi. There were two
colonies on that ship.
WORF
Interesting, Captain.
PICARD
And not terribly relevant, I know.
Still, it gives one pause for
thought....
Picard's voice trails away, and he EXITS.
