"Rescue Run" is a short story that appears in the Anthology "Chronicles of Pern: First Fall". Rescue Run takes place 40 years after the original Pern settlers fled to the Northern continent to escape volcanic activity. Shortly after the appearance of Threadfall that jeopardized the original Pern settlers, Ted Tubberman, a disgruntled Botanist, sent a distress message that he hoped would reach the Federated Sentient Planets so that they would send a rescue mission. This story tells of that mission.
