[edit] Plot summary
The plot involves a distress call from the Seleya, a Vulcan ship, in a Trellium-D asteroid field inside the Delphic Expanse. Captain Archer, T'Pol, and Reed go to the ship to find that the Vulcan crew have lost control of their emotions and become violent. It is soon discovered that the Trellium-D is causing the Vulcans to lose control of themselves, and that the substance is affecting T'Pol. The rest of the episode focuses on the away team's efforts to outwit the Vulcans and escape from the ship (Fernandez et al., 2003).
[edit] Trivia
- The Vulcan starship was named Seleya. This was likely a nod to Mount Seleya from Star Trek III: The Search For Spock.
- Some digital television guides describe the vulcans as "Zombie Like Creatures" however the degraded vulcans bear more of a resemblance to the infected humans from 28 Days Later most notably in their high movement speed.
