Riker's Ten-Forward Service Notes
A pocket-sized paper notepad with dog-eared pages and quick, cramped ink handwriting. Margins bear terse reminders and a folded corner; a pen rests nearby. Riker jots brief patron names and order cues as he scans Ten-Forward, fingers tapping the pad before he snaps it shut and rises to confront Devinoni.
