Two thousand turns after AVIAS dragon rider numbers began to decrease as thread began to stop falling, Queens were lucky to rise once a turn and dwindled in numbers to the point of one Queen per Weyr. Scientists claimed to have perfected a serum that was suppose to increase the number of eggs a dragon laid, and increase the size of the hatchlings. The dragon riders debated about this new serum, it had the potential to be useful but right now their was no point in it with thread barely falling. It was decided that one whole Weyr would go back to one thousand turns before landing and start populating Pern when thread was at its peak. Fort, the most traditional of the Weyrs was picked for this task. The day they planned to leave each dragon was injected with the serum. Fort then carried as many supplies, candidates, scientists, and others who wished to accompany them as they could.
At first all seemed great and the Fort Queen rose and when she clutched she had a very large clutch. There were some odd colored eggs but the scientists assured the riders it was a minor side effects of the serum. Then on hatching day all seemed well, normal colored dragons slightly bigger in size as expected, but then the tiniest egg on the sands hatched and disaster struck. A small egg latterly shattered sending eggs shards across the grounds at dangerous speeds, injuring some candidates. A small Iridescent dragon emerged from the egg, telekinetically sending, eggs, candidates, dragonets, flying until she found her rider, maiming and killing others in the process.
The Fort Weyrwoman was both furious with the dragonet and feared it at the same time. Soon after other colors began emerging. She demanded that this whole clutch of Weyrlings be exiled for fear of what the others could do. She called them monsters, abominations, and even wanted to kill them but the dragons wouldn’t allow it. Instead she sent a group of riders to prepare a Weyr for them on the Southern Continent, saying they would be sent there as soon as they matured. She then banished the Scientists to the South, threatening them all with death if they didn’t reverse what they did.
Three turns has passed and the Weyrlings are getting ready to leave Fort after enduring three turns of hatred and ridicule. Soon the Fort Weyrwoman will be free to plot their demise, and in the three turns of their banishment the Scientists have been working on a secret project, but its not the cure the Fort Riders have been waiting for….
