Not vulcan at all - now that is a surprise! I was expecting mind-controlled vulcans (well, heavily influenced vulcans) but this is something far more subtle. A simalacrum sufficient to keep a vulcan fooled for several days.
But a homunculus sufficiently detailed to be vulnerable to the nerve pinch and the mind meld...
The old scifi horror canard of "they're coming for our women" turned on its head - they're coming for our men...
Lots of stuff to like about this one and kudos on the well concealed curve ball!
Thanks!! rbs
Author's Response: Glad to see that I could offer a couple of surprises.

WHOA. A+ for the nerve pinch manuever. Xy got a big clap and smile from me for that. But I JUST put together the nebula being alive in the Vulcans when he did the mind meld -- it all makes sense now. Majorly impressive and I hope Xy can figure a way out of here without dying.
Author's Response: That was a big risk though. Imagine she was just an innocent (albeit very excited) young woman. That would have been an awkward conversation later about his need to render her unconscious.
