What an honor, thank you! I tried to model the Cerritos bridge as close as I could to canon—while I based Mariner and Tendi's "getting-ready room" on some glimpses into their quarters that @chrisfenoglio.bsky.social did in "Warp Your Own Way".

A 6-panel comic titled ‘First Officers.’ The first panel shows Brad, Ransom, and Beckett sitting on the bridge. A narrative caption in Ransom’s point of view reads: ‘Personal log, 59582.5. It’s been months since Mariner and Boimler have been promoted to first officers... and neither one has come forward about their hush-hush relationship. It’s like they aren’t even dating at all!’
The second panel shows Ransom speaking. A speech bubble says: ‘I fold. You two hide your relationship good. Kudos.’
The third panel shows Becket and Brad standing in front of Ransom, looking shocked and weirded out. Beckett says, ‘Nope! Hell no!’ Brad says, “Uhh, no, sir!”
The fourth panel shows Ransom’s face again, framed by Brad and Beckett standing in front of him. Ransom has his hands up, and is grinning. He says, “Woah, settle down... flings are fine by this captain. Besides, I know a thing or two about first officer lovers...”
Fifth panel: a close up of Beckett’s face, wearing an expression of revulsion. There is no text, but it invokes the word, “EUGH.”
Sixth Panel: Beckett and Brad on an alien planet, both looking thoughtful and uncomfortable. A narrative caption in Beckett’s point of view reads: ‘Since Ransom’s stupid joke on the bridge, every mission with Boims has been so damn awkward!. What the %#*@ is Ransom’s problem? Why would he say that?!’.

A seven-panel continuation of the comic from the previous page. 
Panel one: Beckett in her nightgown, staring into a mirror. A narrative caption reads, “We’re best friends. Basically Kirk and Spock of the 2380s...” In the reader’s voice of the Lower Decks comic, “Warp Your Own Way.” It says, ‘Kirk and Spock?’ A thought bubble coming from Beckett says, ‘Yeah! Those two were T’hy’la!” 
Panel two: Beckett looking introspective. The reader’s voice narrative caption says, ‘You know, Mariner, historians debate the nature of their friendship a lot...’ 
Third panel: Becket slams her hand against the mirror and says, “Kirk was a free-spirit that preferred alien babes!” The reader-voice caption says, ‘touchy subject, I see.’ Beckett insists, ‘He didn’t want his best friend!’ A second reader-voice narrative caption says, ‘Forget I mentioned it.. At the end of the day, you’re not Kirk.’ 
Fourth Panel: Beckett turning away from the mirror, looking angry. A reader-voice narrative caption reads, ‘You’re Mariner. What do you want?’ Below is a LCARS-style Choose Your Own Adventure. The left says, ‘Try to Answer: Follow Left Panel.’ The right says, ‘Don’t Answer: Follow Right Panel.”
Following the right panel leads to the fifth panel of the comic. It shows Beckett marching out of the room, making a sarcastic vulcan salute. A spiky speech bubble reads, ‘Stow it, asshole!’ A caption reads ‘The End.’

Three copies of Okudazine are sitting in the bright sunshine on a 70’s vinyl floor covered in brown fern like patterns. The cover of the zine is based on a padd, the handheld touchscreens from Star Trek- the title is in all caps on the screen, with a diagram of some unspecified version of enterprise and a subtitle that reads- all about Star Trek displays. The surface of the padd that isn’t screen is heavily stippled because I just couldn’t help myself.

Meet The Artist introduction page. The top corner says "meet the artist" and underneath are the arcade and agender pride flags. Under that is "any pronouns" and "April 5" next to a drawing of a birthday cake. Underneath that is a sideways "my name is bloo".

 On the upper right is a square titled with "stuff I like". Bullet points listing various games and tv shows are shown, along with a handwritten note of "I like drawing cute and colorful stuff! Also OCs and fanart."

Underneath that is a picture of a puppy with a head that resembles a chocolate kiss. The words next to him are "my mascot, not me. His name is bloopy."

In the bottom middle is a picture of a bright blue sky with clouds with arrows pointing to it. The text underneath says "I look like this!" Next to that is a doodle of a person wearing a bow and glasses. It is captioned "and sometimes I look like this"

The Cerritos was heavily damaged in a dogfight & was forced to return to Federation space…without the away team.

Captain Freeman & Mariner aren’t about to sit around & wait when they have a team to rescue—especially one under Boimler’s command.

A Starfleet promotional poster painted in the style of retro painted tourism posters. The poster features Lieutenants Beckett  Mariner and Brad Boimler and a town square in Bajor.

They are holding an open paper map, Mariner with her right hand and Boimler with his left. Mariner is pulling Boimler into a kiss by grabbing the back of his neck with her left hand. Boimler seems slightly surprised but reciprocating. They both have light blue duffel bags with Starfleet insignia printed on the side hanging from their shoulders, Boiler is gripping the strip of his with his right hand.

They are standing in an old town square featuring a waterbody / fountain with a tall obelisk standing in the middle of it. The rest features domed buildings, arched doorways and bridges, all in the color of yellow sandstone, covered in lush creepers. There are several tall trees. The square is full of Bajoran pigeons, who happen to look like early earth birds, with finger-like appendages attached to their wings. They have slight blue and white feathers and bright orange beaks and feet.

The poster reads “Take your shore leave” (slightly slanted, written in cursive, blue with slight orange highlights) “on Bajor” (both in orange, “Bajor” is written in large block letters at the center of the image).The bottom left has a small sign saying “Bajor tourism project”. he entire poster has a blood orange border. The bottom border has “In association with Starfleet” written in tiny white fonts.

Panel one: The artist is holding a squish toy Bradward Boimler in her had and showing him off, saying :This is my son. He helps me express feelings I have a hard time articulating by myself"

Panel two: She squeezes the toy. The toy lets out a trail of classic Boimler scream "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA". The artists stands motionless, with a blank deadpan look on her face, staring into the abyss.
