An Appeal For Peace
In a battle as glorious and as important as that which we see raging around us, it is to be expected that passions will rise. Those who swear allegiance to Jamie or to Pigeon will naturally seek to come to the aid of their champion, and so, inevitably, two factions will arise. To those who are inflamed with admiration for the one they follow, it may seem right and noble that they should go to war for their master.
But this is not a war. For war is an ugly thing, yet the Battle is beautiful.
And so, proud supporters, I must appeal to you most earnestly: let this battle remain between those who are destined to fight it. So let noone, however fiery his soul, strike a blow in aid of Jamie; and equally, let none seek to harm Jamie in support of his rival.
This affair is beyond the understanding of mere men. Let us not profane it, or ourselves, with our most base violence. ¶ 3:11 PM

Jamie, seen here about to embark on a daring nocturnal strike, is the ideal towards which mankind has been striving since its consciousness first awoke.
Pigeon is the single hive-mind by which all rock-piegeons, commonly thought to be entirely seperate, are connected. Its sole purpose for many years has been to destroy Jamie.
