The USS Enterprise was the pride of the Starfleet ship. She had saved the universe many times and her Captain Kirk and crew were legendary. The ship was now on her seconds mission and many of the members of the crew had been in space for over six years now.

As the ship approached a new solar system everything was looking normal. It was a large system with eight planets. Two of the planets showed inhabitants each civilization being in the beginning of the electronics era. They would be exploring outer space sometime in the next hundred years if not already having some unmanned flights already.

Mr. Spock was at his station on the bridge going over the settings of the planets and observing many of the features of each and every planet when there was a sudden shift. The red alert warning came on and as Captain Kirk called out the orders, Sulu struggled to gain control of the large ship. Spock began calling out what was going on recognizing that they had been caught up in a black hole.

As he shouted over the loud noises on the bridge all of a sudden without warning there was silence. Mr. Spock turned around to see why without warning there was no sound, he found himself standing on the bridge alone. He walked around the bridge and found no one. The Enterprise was flying through space, but was as if she was driving herself. This did not make any sense at all to him.

It was then that he saw that he seemed to have no depth to his body or being. He could not touch or feel anything. As he adjusted himself to his new condition, he realized that there was indeed people on the bridge. They were barely visible, but everyone that had been on the bridge a few minutes before were still there, just in a different condition that he was now in.

It was as if he had been changed and no one else on the ship had. That was when he decided to see if he could find anyone else aboard the ship that was in the same condition that he was. Perhaps there had been some sort of energy surge that had affected his molecular construction. As he walked the hallways of the ship, he found that he had to be careful. He was now very capable of walking right through the bodies of other members of the crew. He was having trouble seeing them and if he didn't look carefully he found himself going right through their bodies.

As Spock walked each and every deck, he found no one on the ship that appeared to have changed in the same way that he had. As he approached the bridge one more time, he was surprised that there didn't seem to be much movement there yet. It was as if he had not changed and was still standing at his station working.

Captain Kirk had all he could do to survive the worm hole and was pleased to see that the ship had once more survived something that was potentially lethal with apparently little or no damage. "Report all decks on conditions." Kirk ordered.

Uhura answered and said "All decks minor damage but all right. Repairs have begun.

Kirk turned to his friend and partner Spock "All clear Captain, I am receiving the data from the worm hole now." Spock replied.

Mr. Spock was a half human Vulcan who prided himself in his ability to control his emotions. He had worked hard to attain the rank of first officer on board the Star Ship Enterprise, but was having a problem controlling his emotions at this time. It was as though he had woken up from a dream where everything was now brighter. It was hard to explain, but things sounded and smelled differently.

As Spock went to bed that night he found himself having strange dreams. In the dreams he was a different man with emotions, a much more human than Vulcan man. The dreams were very vivid and when he awoke the next day he found himself shaken by them.

Kirk had been on the bridge the next day going over the reports on the worm hole that they had been through when he couldn't believe his ears. He could hear the sound of laughter coming from his first officer. Indeed one of the men had just told a joke, and although it wasn't really funny it did make Kirk smile, but to hear Spock laugh at the joke caught him and everyone on the bridge by surprise.

In the six years that Spock had been on the bridge of the Enterprise he had rarely smiled, let alone laugh. Kirk turned around to his friend and said "Well something has my first officer in a good mood today." What Spock said next surprised him even more.

"It was just the joke it was funny. I am half human you know." Spock told him.

"Indeed you are." Kirk told him with a little chuckle himself.

In the meantime Spock who was seemingly invisible to everyone onboard the ship was working on a way to let the other members of the Enterprise know that he was there and walking among them. As he had approached his station Spock had seen a person who resembled him standing there working as though nothing was any different. As Spock watched the scans and computer that the other Spock was watching things seemed to be normal. It was apparent that no one on board the ship knew that something had happened to him. He was going to need to get a message through.

But then without warning there was another shift in the area around him. Without warning he found himself back in his body once more. As he turned to speak to Captain Kirk he was thrown back out of his body once more.

Captain Kirk had been busy going over the incidents of the last day when without warning the ship had gone into some sort of time distortion. The damage was slight and everyone seemed to be all right. As he called out the orders for position and condition Sulu turned to him with shock on his face.

"Captain we are back at the same place we were yesterday when we escaped the worm hole." Sulu told him.

Spock confirmed the reading and Kirk sat back. 'What was going on here?' he thought.
