ACTD Mission USS Vesuvius - Worlds Apart - Episode Six

Host Gerry says:
Previously on the USS Vesuvius:

Host Gerry says:
After an encounter with a Dyson Sphere of unknown origin and destination, the USS Vesuvius has continued her original course and mission orders, that being Famine Relief at Polanus V and research assistance into a cure for the Yxarta strain of wheat.  She will also provide medical assistance for the victims of starvation.

Host Gerry says:
It is suspected by Starfleet Intelligence that there is some Romulan involvement in the famine, and that the virus attacking the Yxarta grain is genetically engineered and type-specific.  The Vesuvius is to investigate and take whatever actions are deemed necessary to correct such problems as they may find.

Host Gerry says:
It has been determined that a cloaked vessel of unknown origin has been tailing the Vesuvius.  The Chief Tactical Officer, in temporary command of the ship, has fired a spread of torpedoes aft of the ship in an attempt to shake up the unidentified vessel.  The unknown vessel has dropped off the sensor scans for the moment and is whereabouts unknown.  

Host Gerry says:
At present, the Vesuvius is moments away from entering the Polanus system and has lost positive contact with the cloaked vessel.
