Birdman of DeepShip 12
From Space Quest Omnipedia
[edit] Information
The Birdman of DeepShip 12 was a legendary prisoner who raised homing pigeons in his cell for months.
He then hatched a scheme in which he'd write notes and attach them to the pigeons and send the pigeons out the window in search of help. Naturally, the birds would immediately explode upon being released into outer space, but he never gave up.
When he was released, he was heavily recruited by SOL, Inc.
[edit] Game Involvement
The Birdman never appears in the game, but Roger Wilco was reminded of his story while gazing out the window at the brig on board the DeepShip 86, during his short imprisonment.
[edit] Notes
The Birdman confirms the (prior?) existence of a DeepShip 12 (although it's also possible that it's just a story or Roger doesn't remember it too accurately).
[edit] References
"The Birdman of DeepShip 12" is a reference to The Birdman of Alcatraz.
