After 6 months, they should have all killed each other by now. Maybe the ones we saw were only a few survivors who managed to slow down the progression of the nuero toxin?
Possibly there were several Vulcan that were stationed in parts of the ship not shielded with Trellium D (remember, the shielding was only partially installed). We could have been watching the end of a losing battle the survivors and meical team had of immunizing themselves to the Trellium.

Here are some additional or supplemental observations to this episode:
Tucker mentions watching a classic "Hope & Crosby" comedy and making, most likely, a homage to the recently deceased Bob Hope
The Seleya was sent out 9 months ago, and although they haven�t made many time references as of late, I would guess the Seleya left a good 4-5 months before Enterprise did.
The Seleya was charting the thermobaric parameter and were sucked into the Expanse after several days of study by a subspace eddy. The Vankaara was sent to find her, apparently a matter of weeks before Enterprise left.
The Seleya was interested in the asteroid field because it was loaded with Trellium ore, which they were using to line their bulk heads.
T�pol � Former Deputy Science Officer of the Vankaara for over a year
Captain Voris � Commanding Officer of the Vankaara
Solin � Chief Engineer of the Vankaara
The Seleya has/d a crew of 147
Enterprise now has 60 Kilos of Trellium D in its possession, however it is no use to them as long as it affects T�pol.
quote:Originally posted by Topher: Well, let's see what I can remember:
[*]Bridge on the Seleya is seven decks above the docking hatch, aux control is two decks up (Not sure, someone confirm/deny that), engineering is a couple of decks down as well.
[*]The shuttlepod docked to the Seleya using the dorsal hatch to the ring around the warp ring (if that makes sense).
I'm pretty confident with what I got listed below, but it was the sickbay taht was two decks up, not the aux control room (at least not verbally mentioned as such), and the shuttle docked on the starboard docking port.
Decks of the Seleya:
Decks 12-13: Decompressed from an asteroid impact.
Deck 9: Starboard docking port where the pod docked. (They were in the aux control room where it was mentioned releasing the bulkheads on deck 9 (the ones the evil-Borg-Vulcan-Zombies closed) so that they could get to their pod)
Deck 8?: Engineering Deck (where the auxiliary control room is located - seemed really close to sickbay, or as such between sickbay and where they docked)

I wonder why the vulcans simply didn't take a couple of their own shuttles and evacuate. What ever trapped their ship inside the anomaly and asteroid field must have dissipated over a couple months. By then I guess most of them were to preoccupied with going after each other's brains than finding a way to get off the crippled ship.

Maybe I missed it, but what about the Trellium D acted on the Vulcans? Is it radioactive? If not, then what? Can't be fumes or the like, otherwise you could isolate the compartments lined with the stuff.

IIRC, T'Pol was the former Deputy Science Officer of the Seleya. Voris was the Seleya's CO, and Solin was the Chief Engineer of the Seleya. You're mixing the Vankaara and the Seleya up.

Exactly how some of the Seylea managed to survive, I'd imagine. Somebody on Enterprise will get the idea to double the bulkheads over the Trellium D. Porthos prahaps.

Apparently, Trellium-D 'acts as a powerful neurotoxin' to Vulcans. You could probably just isolate it, but to process the stuff into something workable, and to apply it to the bulkheads, you would be exposed to it.
But I don't think our crew understand all of it yet, since the Trellium-D is kept in a biohazard container in the cargo bay.

Err, yeah I meant Seleya, rather than Vankaara, thats what I get for not proofreading while in a hurry...

What's odd is that in the previous episode they have T'pol and Trip working in close proximity to Trellium-D for several days and yet T'pol wasn't affected in the slightest throughout the episode.

Phlox explained that. They never 'synthesized a significant amount' of the stuff. So presumably, the liquid variant they acquired doesn't affect Vulcans.

Just to annpy me, Harry's screenshots are way better. But this means at least we get a good side view of the new attachment on the rifles, the torch that doesn't get switched on. . .
