USS Vesuvius, NCC-71985
Enigmatic Contagion - Part 4

After a shaky start on their new mission, the Vesuvius is now in the Periates System ready to record the transformation of R-2375 from a Red Giant to a White Dwarf when it detected a Rendar class vessel too near the star.

Captain Kaufram, of the USS Bounty informed Captain Kelson that he was trying to fix his engines when he inadvertently took his sensors offline.  He is ignorant of the impending transformation.

The Vesuvius brought his vessel into a shuttle bay where he was met by the XO and EO.  The EO is looking at the vessel while the XO escorted Captain Kaufram to the CO's Ready Room for a meeting.

Radiation and gravity levels have increased and the Vesuvius was moved further from the star.  The Vesuvius now awaits the transformation while the Captain talks with Captain Kaufram.
