For fans of Anne McCaffrey’s Dragonriders of Pern series, the story of this work goes thusly…
*Weyrleader’s statement: Pilarth rose one week ago after blooding twelve bucks; quite a record! We nearly despaired of her getting aloft, so much had she drunk and so quickly.
She was flown by bronze Limanth after a chase of nearly a full hour…flight lasted only 4 minutes; but you can see by the Masterhealer’s records scan what a clutch is to be laid. Scan is a view of the interior of Pilarth’s left ovary, showing the current state of clutch development. If it is matched by the right one…need I say more?*
(All dragon’s names are my own creations and none are contained in any of the Dragonriders of Pern books to my best knowledge.)

I read that series back in the 80s. Love it too. Gorgeous work.
Thanks Bunny! Did you know that as of 2004
Pern books were still being written? Anne
