Plot
Enterprise answers an automated distress call of the Vulcan ship Seleya, which was lost in the Expanse nine months earlier. Captain Archer, Sub-commander T'Pol, Lt. Reed and Cpl. Hawkins dock Shuttlepod One with Seleya, only to be attacked by the survivors. The Vulcan crew have been reduced to violent zombie-like drones, and have lost control of their emotions leaving them permanently brain-damaged by a neurotoxin in the Trellium-D. Meanwhile, Enterprise navigates an unpredictable asteroid field rich in Trellium, an ore that can be refined to make a vital insulation for traveling the expanse with minimal damage from the anomalies. Commander Tucker and Ensign Mayweather land Shuttlepod Two on an asteroid to mine the ore.
