NARRATOR:
In a blinding flash
They were transported
To a bustling harbor
That belonged to a city
That must have been
Ten thousand strong
There was something peculiar
‘Bout this city on the water
Hershel looked around

HERSCHEL:
Something’s wrong

NARRATOR:
Steamships passed upriver
As smoke filled the air

MARGARET:
I’ve never seen so many...

ROSE:
Not even in New York Harbor

NARRATOR:
Merchants moved around them
Tending to their wares
HERSCHEL:
Excuse me, sailor! What is the name of this settlemеnt?

MORGAN:
The port of Hanover, sir
(a ship’s bell rings)
Sorry, sir, I must gеt to the Ellen Austin. She can’t leave without her bosun

HERSCHEL:
…Hanover. Oh my God

NARRATOR:
Everyone looked to the sky

SAMUEL:
There she is

NARRATOR, CHORUS:
They saw the brick satellite
Standing strong with all her might

MARGARET:
Don’t give up the fight

ROSE, SAMUEL:
Travel where you might
HERSCHEL:
We will reunite

ROSE:
Look!

NARRATOR:
On the beach beside the harbor
A towering obelisk
They hurried to the monument
That was made entirely of brick
There was a plaque, Samuel read
This is what it said

SAMUEL:
On this site in eighteen thirty-five
Sir John Herschel and Anna Hanover
Launched the first brick satellite, the Sagitta
In what was known as Township Number Nine

HERSCHEL:
What?

SAMUEL:
Erected to commemorate their bravery
To thank them for their gift to all mankind
May this monument stand forever
Dedicated August, eighteen sixty-five
CHORUS:
This is your brick satellite
This is your brick satellite

ROSE:
… What year is it?

NARRATOR:
To be continued!
