Object
Rex's Bar Tab (Holodeck)
A running bar ledger kept by the Holodeck bartender Rex: a small leather receipt pad and pencil—inked notations smudged by damp fingers, columns scratched with drink counts and totals, and the occasional patrons' name scrawled at the top. Characters treat it as an accounting shortcut: Rex gestures toward the pad when offering to cover a round; Picard physically rejects the offer, producing cash instead.

Purpose
To record and tally patrons' drink charges, permitting deferred payment or the bartender to assume responsibility for a customer's round.
Significance
Functions as a narrative choice point: Rex's offer to put Picard's scotches 'on the tab' tests Picard's pride and agency, and Picard's rejection (paying cash) reinforces his deliberate adoption of a hard‑boiled persona and refusal to accept charity while masking an injury.
