Object
Ten-Forward Assorted Ceremonial Glasses (including Yuta-served instance)
A casually eclectic row of mismatched glasses and tumblers arrayed on a Ten‑Forward table and in patrons' hands: small clear tumblers, short-stemmed glasses, and a few taller flutes, some beading with condensation and carrying faint garnishes. In the current exchange, a single glass moves from Kyle toward Pulaski—handed as a social prop and tactile bridge—while others sit half‑finished around the group. Characters lift, test small sips, cradle the vessel between words, and let the weight of the glass steady otherwise fraught gestures.

Purpose
To supply beverages to Ten‑Forward patrons and provide tactile props for social ritual — facilitating toasts, casual drinking, and paced, intimate interaction among crew members.
Significance
The offered glass functions as a social lubricant and reunion prop: it punctuates Kyle and Pulaski's charged reconnection, gives them a physical conduit for intimacy, and accentuates Riker's isolation as he refuses the outreach embodied by the gesture.
