Star Trek Picard: Every Easter Egg & Hidden Reference From 'Et In Arcadia Ego, Part 2'

22. The Survivors

After being released from Synthville prison by Sutra in last week's episode, Narek finds his way to the crashed Artifact.

The XBs are more or less just standing around letting (non-Borg) drones repair the cube for them. We've seen these things flying around the Artifact in several episodes this season and the same type of drone was seen healing Ramdha (or just scanning her) in "Absolute Candor".

As Seven of Nine and Elnor have a heart to heart, Narek tiptoes past them and runs into Narissa who it turns out didn't beam off the cube when the XBs tackled her in "Broken Pieces". Instead she just beamed to a different part of the Artifact and somehow managed to hang on when the cube crashed to the surface of Ghulion IV aka Coppelius in "Et In Arcadia Ego, Part 1".
