Date not given: While charting the Arachnid Nebula, Enterprise encounters the Vulcan vessel Vahklas, whose crew have abandoned the practice of suppressing their emotions. One of them, Tolaris, develops an interest in T'Pol. He suggests, as an experiment, that she not meditate before going to sleep, after which she has an unsettling dream of living out her emotions in a night club called "Fusion". When Tolaris mind-melds with T'Pol, a technique that is unknown to most Vulcans, she collapses. Archer is upset. He provokes Tolaris to exhibit his violent nature, upon which the Vulcans are told to return to their ship.
