Boliska appears as a longtime acquaintance and social companion of Kyle Riker, arriving in Ten-Forward with a small group of old friends. Kyle greets and shakes hands with Boliska, establishing a tone of easy familiarity; Boliska’s cordial presence helps stage the charged reunion between Kyle and Dr. Pulaski and accentuates Will Riker’s emotional distance. Boliska functions as a member of Kyle’s civilian social circle, a neutral, affable anchor in the scene rather than an active participant in the central conflict.
