Present Tense by L.A. Graf (The Janus Gate Trilogy, Book 1)

"What's the deal?" the geologist asked, glancing back and forth between them as if their silence had alarmed him. "What the heck did you guys see?" 
   "A human shape," Uhura said, trying to keep her voice calm and unshaken. "The lights were outlining it, as if it was just starting to appear." McCoy was already scrambling down the rubble pile, and she snapped her own helmet alight, then levered herself out from between her boulders to follow him. "The problem is, it's appearing right in the middle of that rock column."

Dr. McCoy, Lt. Uhura, and geologist Zap Sanner return to the healing chamber to look for Lt. Sulu. Sketched in pencil, tone & color added digitally.


      Bonus sketch of two Lt. Sulus (George Takei, John Cho). Funny thing is, I couldn't make up my mind while reading this trilogy whether to picture Sulu as George Takei or as John Cho. All the others I easily pictured as the original cast. I think I eventually decided Captain Sulu would look more like George Takei, and Lt. Sulu more like John Cho.
