A hallway leads towards the bridge and off towards other necessary areas: the mess, the medical bay, and lifts to the other decks. Everything shines. Spock himself did the final evaluation. There is no ship in the Vulcan fleet, or likely in known space, that can match his prototype.
It is, he thinks with a faint twist of sardonocism, uniquely suited for a pirate vessel, even if that was not the purpose for which it was designed.
