Object
Sonny's Martini (Computer-Produced Martini)
A chilled, clear cocktail served in a stemmed V‑shaped martini glass, materialized on demand by the ship's replicator. The glass gleams with a thin ring of condensation; the pale liquid sits still as Sonny Clemonds lifts it, sips, and registers surprised delight. The drink appears briefly in the guest lounge, is partially consumed, and then vanishes as officers are recalled.

Purpose
An on-demand alcoholic cocktail produced by the ship's replicator for immediate consumption, sensory comfort, and informal socializing.
Significance
The martini momentarily restores a vanished twentieth‑century pleasure, anchoring Sonny's cultural memory and easing rapport with Data while dramatizing the survivors' emotional dislocation. It functions as a tonal marker that soft-lands a character beat and highlights the episode's tension between personal care and professional duty.
