A Klingon woman and a Starfleet captain having a stand-off. Blath'karr is holding a bat'leth and symbolically preventing the USS Diagne from nearing Qo'nos. She is looming and snarling over Captain El-tehs, a Romulan, while they look up at her. A three panel comic of two Starfleet officers talking to each other, Lieutenant Abubakar and Ensign Nako. They are in a cave system with bright cyan pools. In the first panel, Abubakar says, “Subsurface development changed the probability of crew fatality. I had not anticipated this when I put you on the mission.” Nako asks, “Getting trapped, you mean?” In the second panel Utut is near a pool and says to Abubakar, “Not my first mission, love. These things happen.” Abubakar responds in two bubbles with a break in the middle, “Things I could have expected, yet failed to do so.” and “I am responsible if something happens to you.” In the third panel Nako looks at Abubakar and responds in two bubbles, “Ọdab! Let’s not dive right to mourning. You can’t anticipate everything, Kadi.” and “Take responsibility for finding us this gorgeous date spot!” An illustration of a family photograph of Beckett Mariner and Carol and Alonzo Freeman from Star Trek: Lower Decks. Carol and Alonzo are lower deckers aboard the Enterprise D and Beckett is a small child. Around them are Worf, Data, Geordi, and Riker. They’re posed on the bridge with the Enterprise dedication plaque behind them. A four-panel comic of Amethyst and Pearl from Steven Universe showing each other paintings they have done of each other. In the first panel Pearl worriedly reveals a realistic portrait of Amethyst and says, “If we had more time, mine wouldn’t look so amateur…” in cursive. In the second panel Amethyst is nodding while looking at the painting. In the third panel Amethyst has flipped her easel around towards Pearl to reveal her painting of Pearl. Pearl is depicted as an ostrich squawking loudly with paint splatters. Amethyst is smiling while saying, “I went for more of a feeling...” The fourth panel is a close-up of Pearl pursing her lips together angrily with an arched brow. Amethyst is going ‘hu hu hu’ from off-screen.
