The Pigeon Conspiracy hid in underground circles until recently when a mysterious person calling himself Richard Pierson began a campaign using the web and email to spread awareness about the threat posed by the pigeons. He sent a series of cryptic messages to a select group of young people, giving them clues and encouraging them to find out more, all the while stressing the seriousness of the threat. This group of people came to be known as the Alpha Group, and included many members of what was to become the Pigeon Resistance.
Then Pierson issued the well-known email virus known as the Dove Bug, which was read by an estimated 1.3 billion people. Suddenly the Pigeon Conspiracy was global. Pierson's email, though, appeared to be a contrite confession and apology for what he now claimed were myths about pigeons. Given the paranoia he exhibited in his last few messages before the Dove Bug, though, it was quickly concluded that Pierson had been captured by the hive mind and was now in limbo.
The urgency of the fight against the pigeons was stepped up with the formation of the Pigeon Resistance. The Pigeon Conspiracy is now well known, and, in a sure sign of immortality, even appears in a novel titled The Pigeon Conspiracy.
