Object

Danilo's Pipe

A small, personal smoking pipe carried and produced by Danilo during the cargo‑bay incident. Specific materials, ornamentation, and exact dimensions are not recorded in the scene; the object is recognizable as a bowl-and-stem pipe, hand‑held and worn from use. Danilo withdraws it and begins to fill it after nodding thoughtfully, the motion acting as a private, habitual gesture that punctures the illicit revelry and attracts terse responses from Brenna and Worf.

2 appearances

Purpose

A personal smoking implement intended to hold and smoke tobacco or similar substances; here it serves as a handheld prop for habitual or contemplative use.

Significance

Serves as a character accessory that marks Danilo's temperament and small acts of defiance or comfort. Its appearance during the illicit poteen scene provides a brief focal action that reinforces social dynamics—Danilo's stubbornness and nonchalance contrasted with Brenna's enforcement and Worf's diversion—without driving the plot itself.
