11/3/25:
The other night, the cat jumped down off a shelf in the basement while I was exercising and I heard a big crashing noise. But, on inspection... thought she'd only knocked some loose pieces over and I breathed a sigh of relief.
Until last night, when I realized she'd landed on our Galaxy Class bridge set, and I had to quickly rebuild it. One of the bridge officers is still missing, too, and I'm not sure where the heck she went.
Kind of reminds me of that one time when we were making Harry Potter Comics and we lost Harry (of all figures) for a few installments. Thus, there's one episode (in Chapter 1, I think) of that where I had to make a temporary fill-in Harry, and he technically has Ron's hair (oddly, we only had ONE slightly mussy short black hair piece at the time), which I
recolored in Photoshop (somewhat imperfectly). I don't think anyone ever noticed, but I always do when I look back through the old comics.

Transcript
Panel 1:
Mr. Dwayne Shrunt: Potemkin, this is Assistant to the Acting Captain Shrunt.
Panel 2:
Captain Bob Jenkins: *sigh* We read you, Intrepid.
Awaiting orders.
Shrunt: Very good, Mr. Jenkins... per Ms. Hulyard's directive, you are now acting solely as her proxy.
If you attempt to countermand any further orders from her or myself, you will be clapped in irons.
Jenkins: Understood.
If I may, however... I would report that the "laughing" glitch detected on Intrepid has also manifested itself here on Potemkin.
Panel 3:
Jenkins: I believe our engineers have isolated the infected systems. Can you speak to that, Harriet?
Helmsman Harriet Donalds: Yessir. After hearing several episodes of mysterious laughter, Chief Engineer Higgins shut down and reloaded our systems from backups.
There is currently a malfunction in Holodeck 4, but we believe it to be unrelated. After all... it wouldn't be a day on a Galaxy class without a holodeck malfunction, right?
Panel 4:
SFX: *SILENCE!*
Panel 5:
Jenkins: Well.
Barring any reoccurence... I can state that Potemkin appears to be operating normally.
Panel 6:
Shrunt: Ms. Hulyard will be pleased. Maintain assigned course and speed and do not deviate from designated route.
Shrunt out.
Panel 7:
Shrunt: Helmsan. Engage Warp Factor 7.
Helmsman Talia: Warp Factor 7, yes.
Sir.
