USS Vesuvius, NCC-71985
Enigmatic Contagion - Part 5

The Vesuvius arrived in the Periates System to record the transformation of R-2375 from Red Giant to a White Dwarf when it detected a Rendar class vessel too near the star.

Captain Kaufram, of the USS Bounty was trying to fix his engines when he inadvertently took his sensors offline, 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 was looking at the vessel when she became ill. She reported to sickbay. The XO escorted Captain Kaufram to the CO's Ready Room.

The entire crew is displaying unusual behavior and many are on Holodeck 1 in a program called Sailor's Forum, a program previously programmed and enjoyed immensely by Admiral Royce, former Captain of the Vesuvius.

OPS has been confined to the brig; the EO is ill and strapped onto a biobed in sickbay; the TO is examining Kaufram's ship, while the CIV uses Science to discover the cause for the ailment that has affected the crew.

The bridge is deserted, consoles at station keeping. The gravitational pull has increased from the star and it is slowly pulling the Vesuvius nearer. Time is running out as R-2375 nears its transformation…
