The Reflection
The space ship reminded him of a hall of mirrors. Every surface was polished to a sheen. Intriguing reflections came back at him from the highly polished surfaces. Bizarre images, outlandish shapes, joined by strange sounds and even stranger smells.
His host seems super confident and basically ignored James, he appeared to fear nothing from a specimen from such a primitive planet.
Managing the transportation ship had become routine for Zorran, for the hibernation cells kept the specimens calm.
A relaxed Zorran smiled as a Vulcan with pointed ears was beamed aboard.
Spock looked towards James. The battle could begin.
Footnote:
A follow up story from two earlier stories: called Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre and The Cell. Hopefully I will complete this saga!

Dear Michael,
Fortunately this bit stands on its own. Given the number of stories each week, I don’t try to keep up with sagas and series.Fun. Mr. Spock was always my favorite Star Trek character.
Shalom,
Rochelle
I loved the main characters in the early Star Trek series, and Spock brought them all to life.
It’s life jim, but not as we know it
To true, I don’t remember them meeting James Bond
Woah, hold on – have we just crossed Bond with Star Trek! Where next?!?
An escape I hope
Ingenious.
Thank you so much. Mike
Agree with Rochelle. This does stand alone. And frankly, I cannot get tired of Star Trek!
I have always enjoyed some types of Sci Fi, especially Star Trek. Thank you for taking the time to comment. Mike
Original take – well done.
Like our exalted leader, I do not follow serials, but this stands nicely by itself.
Oh, and Mr Connery will whup Nimoy, nae problem!
Ah, so that’s how he’s going to escape. With a little help from his friends!
I hope so.
Nice take.
Now for the difficult part, how do I get James back to earth. You know I have no idea’s at the present time.
What a great idea, loved it!
Thank you so much for your comment. Mike
I love the opening line in this tale. It made me look twice at the lake.
Thank you very much for your support. Mike.
Spock’s the best! Interesting idea to mix Bond and Star Trek. 🙂
Leonard Nimoy played Spock to perfection.
An interesting take. I wonder who has time to polish all those surfaces? Perhaps they captured Mr. Clean as well.
Now there’s a question. I don’t think that I meet Mr Clean yet.
Greetings!
Awesome interpretation, using the reflection of the water as a jumping off point. I’ve not read the other pieces, but this works well on it’s own. (My own story is a character development piece of the MC in a sci-fi story that I’ve been sorting out.) There seems to be a bit of head hopping in the first paragraph, from James to his host. Otherwise, an excellent tale of post-capture to the brink of escape (one hopes)!
Happy trails! 🙂
Some days it seems like this writers mind goes to sleep. Then the grammar goes out of the window. Sorry.
Thank you for letting me know, I do value that, for I may reuse this piece and now I know I need to tidy it up.
I’m just glad my feedback is useful. 🙂 I know I’m guilty of the same or similar in my own work!
thank you mike
Great sci-fi story!
Thank you, I am not sure yet where this story will end.
LOL..I enjoyed the Star Trek references
I am pleased about that. Thank you. mike
Star Trek, yay. Mr. Spock may be in for a bit of a surprise with James though. Great story.
thank you, I have yet to know how this story will work out.
