[edit] Plot
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 have 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.
[edit] Trellium-D
Trellium-D is a fictional chemical substance from the Star Trek universe. It was introduced in the third season of Star Trek: Enterprise, and became an important recurring plot element throughout the season, exploring the subject of drug addiction.
