| The Meteor-watching party, intended as an autumn celebration for the Reaches, ended in disaster when one of the meteors smashed in to the Eye Rock, sending it hurtling to the ground. Aside from significant damage to the bowl wall, the debris resulting from the various impacts resulted in the deaths of several lower caverns staff (though no dragonriders), and a score of injuries. Most pressingly, aside from the injuries, is the loss of the Eye Rock. It may not be needed for thread-prediction reasons for well over a hundred turns, but the time will come, and it remains to be seen whether the skills to recreate it - not to mention position it - remain available. In the meantime, too, word has been sent around Pern for everyone to Between to High Reaches Hold, instead, and fly straight, existing images now being deathtraps for the unwary. In the days that follow the disaster, word comes in from around the immediate High Reaches Hold area, of more disaster and destruction, though none quite so impressive and staggering as that which has struck the weyr itself. One might be forgiven for wondering: is the weyr cursed? |
