As everything on board the Enterprise appeared to be normal, Kirk sat back in his chair and thought about what had just happened. They had been light years from that worm hole and yet they were back at the same spot.

"Spock did the scanners pick up anything?"

"Negative Captain the area around the black hole seems to be shifting and somehow the Enterprise is shifting with the space that we are in. The black hole is still here and I suggest that we distance ourselves from it so we don't get pulled in again."

Captain Kirk then ordered the ship to pull away from the danger five hundred kilometers. The ship was sluggish but did respond. Kirk called down to engineering where he spoke directly to Scotty. "Scotty what is going on with the engines? The helm is very slugghish."

"I don't know what is happening Captain, but there is a drain on the engines that I cannot locate and it is causing the ship to move almost in slow motion. My readings make no sense." Scotty told the Captain.

"Keep working on the system Scotty. Keep me informed of any changes." Kirk ordered.

The invisible Mr. Spock had been knocked around during the shift in time and for just a second thought that he was back with his body. He had popped back out of it as quickly as he had gone into it. But for an instance he felt as a whole man once more.

At his post Spock was now very concerned about what had happened to him as the ship had gone through the shift in space. For a moment it seemed as though something or someone had attempted to enter his body. For a moment he thought that he was more than one person. This did not make any sense to him but something had happened.

But Spock was now having trouble concentrating. He had never had the problem before. He was a logical Vulcan with a very high IQ and had always prided himself in his ability to logic things out. He was half human and every once in a while that posed a problem for his logic. But, now he seemed to be not quite himself.

Kirk had turned around to say something to his science officer and friend when for a second he thought that Spock was see through. 'It must be the changing of space that is causing me to see things that can't be' he thought to himself. Spock was at his station hard at work and with the problems that the ship was facing quite frankly he needed him.

The invisible Spock was attempting to find a way to reach someone on the ship. As he walked down the halls and saw almost every member of the crew he had no luck. That was when he went into sick bay. Nurse Chappell was busy recording some things in the lab and he decided to speak into the same microphone. Spock shouted as loud as he could and hoped that somehow his voice had been picked up. He knew that sometimes recorders would pick up things that people could not hear with their naked ears.

But to Spocks dismay she was called over to a patient who was being treated in sick bay and she put down the recorder. The man was having some of the problems that Mr. Spock was having and had fainted when the ship shifted in space. he appeared to be all right, but McCoy was running a thorough check on him to make sure that everything was all right.

But Mr. Spock was not up to the job anymore. As time went by he was having more and more trouble concentrating and now he didn't seem to hear as well. He excused himself from the bridge and headed down to see Dr. McCoy. There was nothing more that Spock disliked besides admitting that he was not feeling well. As a matter of fact, he was feeling weaker and weaker .

Kirk could not help but wonder about his friend and decided to follow him. He was surprised to find Spock on his way to sick bay. For Spock to go to sick bay on his own without orders being issued was to say the least a rare occasion. As a matter of fact Kirk could not remember him doing it any other time.

Kirk was concerned for his friend Spock. He looked very tired and almost sluggish. As Dr. McCoy began running tests on the man he was very surprised by the results. Something was happening to Spock. It was as though the space around him was closing in. He was still a very strong man, but he was getting weaker by the minute and McCoy had no idea why.

As he told Jim Kirk about his findings Spock listened in. "I am still running tests but something is draining Spock of all his strength. I have no idea what it is." he told them in a worried tone.

But the invisible Spock was right there in the room and no matter what he did no one could see or hear him. He knew that he too was getting weaker. It was as though he needed the other body to keep him alive.

Mr. Spock thought that it was a good time to mention what had happened when he had been on the bridge. "I felt as though someone was trying to enter my body, and for a second I thought that they might have." Spock told McCoy and Kirk.

Sometimes having a stubborn Vulcan for a first officer and friend could be trying to the very human James Kirk. "You should have reported what happened immediately. There is something going on here and I want to find out what it is."

It was just then without warning that the space shifted once again. This time everyone on the ship was sent flying . Mr. Spock was sure that someone tried to enter his body this time and the monitors that the doctor had on him at the time confirmed it. From what the doctor was reading Spock was trying to enter his own body. That made no sense to him.
