Object
Jerry‑Rigged Whisk
A makeshift, hand‑held whisk cobbled from mismatched metal loops and a repurposed handle, secured where necessary with tape and slightly misshapen from hurried fabrication. Compact enough for one‑handed use, its uneven loops leave quick, irregular ribbons in beaten eggs. Riker grips and flicks it with confident, ritualized motions as Data, Geordi, Pulaski, and Worf watch, critique, and share the small comfort the utensil produces.

Purpose
To agitate and beat eggs for an improvised omelet — a small cooking utensil used to whip and combine ingredients.
Significance
Serves as the tactile anchor of Riker's omelet ritual: a physical assertion of control and human habit that creates communal warmth among the crew. The whisk both performs a practical culinary task and symbolizes temporary solace and identity before duty interrupts.
