The Trek-themed areas include parts of the Enterprise bridge, transporter room, rec room, observation deck, and Spock&#8217;s quarters.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was nine when I first watched<em> Star Trek<\/em> in French with my father,&#8221; said Rainville, who hails from Notre-Dame-des-Prairies (Quebec). &#8220;I became addicted to this show and during the week, and I looked forward to each Tuesday at seven for another episode.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I enjoyed <em>Star Trek<\/em> because it was about space, unknown worlds, and aliens who often ended up being more friendly than expected. I enjoyed learning about Vulcans and seeing the interactions between the characters.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Rainville bought some of the items used in the Trek-themed rooms, and made others herself. When finished, the fifty-one-year-old felt like that young nine-year-old again. &#8220;I was kind of beamed back into that nine-year-old girl&#8217;s mind who so often wished her beloved Captain Kirk could bring her aboard his vessel,&#8221; Rainville said. &#8220;All at once, I was aboard the Enterprise. The illusion had become my reward. I told my mother and my sister that it was so strange. I&#8217;m not sure they have fully understood how I was feeling. But they were there, supportive and sharing this unique moment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>More images can be found at the referring site.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-31604\" alt=\"TrekHouse2-123113\" src=\"http:\/\/www.trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/TrekHouse2-123113.gif\" width=\"580\" height=\"225\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Canadian Star Trek fan Line Rainville is living her Star Trek dream.
