Lower Decks comics address fate of the Enterprise E, or "what Worf did"

https://i.ibb.co/LD3YMrZF/asd22.jpg

The storyline is somewhat hard to follow, but long and short of it is the Cerritos crew are battling a mysterious ship and the Enterprise E swoops in as cavalry with a malfunctioning cloaking device that cloaks and uncloaks the E at random.

An attempt to beam over a boarding party goes wrong and the entire crews of all ships, including the E's, are beamed over to the enemy vessel. During this time the E permanently recloaks and drifts out of range with no way to find it (>!I think they could find it if they really tried!<). Worf caps it off with a classic "It was not my fault!"

>!Personally I wish they'd dealt with the E when it appeared in the Lower Decks series finale. Right next to the multiverse anomaly at the end it could have caught a stray hit that transmogrified every inch of the ship's hull into a mishmash of all the different multiverse Enterprises, a bit like what happened with the Klingon ships and Cerritos earlier in the episode. Preestablished consequences, thematically in keeping with the show's spirit of wacky screwups, and a way to thoroughly write-off the E without the drama of being lost in a big battle. Would have been a nice contribution to canon to send the show off on.!<

>The Bulwark reached out to both the State Department and the White House this morning with a request for comment. A State Department spokesperson asked us for deadline extension as they were "looking into" the inquiry. We gave them an additional two hours. In that time, Fox News published an "exclusive" on the new passport design. A White House spokesperson then sent us an email response confirming the new design "on background" with a link to the Fox News story.
