Public Introduction — Picard Presents Riker; Nakamura's Quiet Reminder

The Old Reliant functions as a conversational prop, invoked by Nakamura to anchor a shared past between him and Picard. The reference humanizes both men while providing narrative proof of long-standing careers and shifting loyalties that contextualize the admiral's later remark.

Before: Unchanged — mentioned in memory as part of a brief anecdote, not physically present.
