Miriam had successfully given herself a headache, much to her dragon's annoyance. Rityth was grumbling about how she shouldn't have to share her rider's brainaches from trying to get her mind around stuff that she just didn't understand.
She was right, but Miriam was going crazy. There was talk about evacuating the Weyr to Pern. Talk about how Earth might survive, how it might not.
"It looks like we're screwed," she said, finally, getting up from the computer chair in the library.
The best case scenario was that the black hole would act as a wormhole, pulling Earth through it. In that case, there was a small chance they would survive the transition...only to end up in, most likely, interstellar space. Where everyone would rapidly freeze to death.
So. Yeah. Screwed. She was glad, right now, that there was another human world, a place where life would continue. Perhaps not easy life, given Thread and the low technology level, but life nonetheless.
Possibly even her life, if another dragon could be convinced to carry them Between or if Earth lasted until Rityth was old enough to try the jump herself...
