RENE PICARDS'PADD FEATURING HIS REPORT ON STARSHIPS
Following Captain Jean-Luc Picard's (Patrick Stewart) capture and assimilation into the Borg Collective and his subsequent rescue and return to humanity he was given a little off time. This was featured in a beloved episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation called "Family" in which we see the captain's return to La Barre, France, his birthplace, and the family vineyard run by his brother, Robert. In the episode, Picard's nephew Rene explains to his uncle that he has written a report about starships and that it has a great deal to do with the famous captain. The item up for bid in this auction is the actual prop PADD (Personal Access Display Device) meant to serve as Rene's report should Captain Picard actually be seen reading it on screen. Unfortunately, that scene was never included in the episode and this heartwarming prop was not part of the show. It is however, built with great detail as the beige PADD features gold trim around a black 'screen' and 'button' housings. The 'screen' includes text that explains in the fashion of children what starships are and which one is the biggest. Furthermore it details who is in command of that ship as well as what it looks like and who wrote the report. Measures approx. 17 x 10 x 1/4 inches.

Notes from someone

Sometime

(search helper: Rene)
Now this is a prop of intrigue. This is a PADD used by René Picard to make a report, however, the prop is from a scene deleted from TNG's "Family". The visible portion shows this:
{ STARSHIPS By Rene Picard
There are many kinds of starships that fly through space, but the biggest of them all is the Galaxy Class Starship. It has over a thousand people on board. It is designed to travel across many light years into the unknown of space.
The mission of the Galaxy Class Starship is to explore strange, new worlds, to seek out new life, and new civilizations, and to boldly go where no one has gone before. My uncle is named Captain Jean-Luc Picard and is the captain... }
