DEEP SPACE: "Meridian" - REV. 09/27/94 - ACT ONE 18.
13 CONTINUED:
DERAL
(gesturing)
-- just beyond that forest there's a
little garden with a small pond.
DAX
It sounds lovely.
DERAL
It is.
They reach a corner of the square, Deral settles onto a bench,
and Dax leans against a nearby wall, looks out across the
compound.
DAX
Deral, our scans showed that there
are only about thirty of you on the
entire planet...
DERAL
There were never many of us... we're
the descendants of an expedition
that was stranded here millennia
ago.
DAX
And your population hasn't increased
since then?
DERAL
It did, for a time... but over the
last few centuries our numbers have
dwindled.
She hears the gravity in his tone, realizes that something's
wrong.
DERAL
You see, we only reproduce when we're
in humanoid form... and our time
here keeps growing shorter. In twelve
days, Meridian will shift back into
it's non-corporeal state.
Dax reacts -- it seems so short a time.
DAX
And stay there for sixty years... ?
