Preparations at Fort Weyr had been underway for days when their fears are realized on day 8\\\, month 4. Not only riders\\\, but also the family of some of those affected have begun to turn up in Fort Weyr's infirmary to tick off the list of symptoms noted by the healers as being ''the'' illness. Some who arrive are sicker than others from the start\\\, perhaps most notably Junior Weyrwoman Dahlia who was brought in by brownrider R'oan after fainting in the hot springs\\\, delirious with her high fever and showing the rash. That the illness has reached the Weyr at all doesn't bode well for Fort\\\, but that their Acting Senior is grief-stricken and their only Junior is plagued by a disease that has already claimed victims? That's truly terrible news.
