Nails

enigmatic offstage regionally‑identified networked

Nails functions as an off‑stage associate evoked by Jean‑Luc Picard during a Dixon Hill holodeck exchange. Identified verbally as 'from Chicago,' Nails appears only as a named contact within Picard’s noir‑era roster; he does not appear on camera or take action in the processed scene. His mention situates him as part of Picard/Dixon’s social circle or network, contributing to period color and implied reach without direct involvement in the episode’s events.

Named by Picard in introductions as 'Nails, from Chicago' — invoked to lend color and implied backup though the character does not appear physically in the scene.
