I loved the part with the passenger pigeons! I wasn't expecting that at all. It's not clear whether it's from a tape one of the passengers had (recorded in Clark's world and leaked onto Youtube by frustrated intelligence analysts), or whether the rift that brought Clark and the plane to this world is still open (handy for them, but how to close it?), or whether there are other rifts opening at random (an even bigger problem).

From Veritas 18:

She felt something shoved into the crook of her arm.

“Check the web address you’ll see written in on page three. It’s been verified as being true.”

The stranger had shoved a newspaper into her arm. Lois grimaced.
From what her informant said, whatever was found on the website has already been verified to be factual in this universe. Besides, it's not really conceivable that there's an internet link which is operational between universes. That would seem to mean that we now have hundreds of thousands of formerly-extinct passenger pigeons now present in our reality.

From Veritas 19:

Lois hadn’t even bothered to look at the paper in the darkness of her vehicle. Now her main interest was in finding the site that was on the third page. With her luck, the government would shut the site down before she had a chance to see it.

It was a You-tube address, which surprised Lois. She wasn’t aware that You-tube had any dealings with the government.
There's really been no reports in other FoLCfic of passenger pigeons, so the rift that brought them here was probably from an earlier time-period than the one which brought Clark and the plane, one where they were not yet extinct. That doesn't sound like simply reversing whatever that process was will easily get them back to the correct time and place they came from. Maybe 196 people and myriad extinct pigeons are permanently stranded here, hmm?

Also, from the above quote, it doesn't look like Lois has yet noticed the masthead of the paper containing the penciled-in web address. What if it's a copy of the Daily Planet? And what if she gets caught with it? (bites fingernails)

Hurry back!
