[[Head Assistant Researcher]] Darius, in charge of the [[Drove of the Database-Compiling Dromedaries]]' research on [[Strangely-Colored Secret Society|Strangely-Colored Secret Societies]] made up of non-humans at [[Research Laboratory 6]], became frustrated with how little the Drove had found out on the [[Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids]], and ordered [[Assistant Researcher]] [[Lila]] to capture a live Cupid. She managed to do so, bringing back [[Pessimist-242]]. Darius then questioned him, making it clear that he intended to take all the credit for the ensuing discoveries instead of Lila. When Pessimist suggested that his absence might be noticed, he had a captive [[Clockmaking Capybara (Pessimist and the Dromedaries)|Clockmaking Capybara]] create a [[Pseudo-Pessimist|duplicate]] whom he sent back to the Homeworld in [[Pessimist's Fog Ship]]. | [[Head Assistant Researcher]] Darius, in charge of the [[Drove of the Database-Compiling Dromedaries]]' research on [[Strangely-Colored Secret Society|Strangely-Colored Secret Societies]] made up of non-humans at [[Research Laboratory 6]], became frustrated with how little the Drove had found out on the [[Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids]], and ordered [[Assistant Researcher]] [[Lila]] to capture a live Cupid.

([[PROSE]]: ''[[Pessimist and the Dromedaries (short story)|Pessimist and the Dromedaries]]'')]]However, after a successful round of questioning, Pessimist, put back in his cell, organised a mass escape of all the speciments in Laboratory 6, which ended with the Laboratory itself being destroyed and Darius being hit with a [[Cupid Arrow]]. At this point, the [[Blue Feather]] came back for Pessimist, having easily identified the overly-cheerful duplicate as a fake. Darius, still giddy from the effect of the romanticisation, stole the Ship at gunpoint and ordered it to take him to the Homeworld, but the Ship outfoxed him by dropping him in front of [[Lord Thymon]], and in a manner which knocked over piles of mail which Thymon had just finished sorting. The angry Thymon used a ritual to banish Darius into [[the Void|the Void Between Worlds]], where he began drifting, all too slowly, towards the [[Interdimensional Tavern]]. In his absence, the rest of the Drove decided to pin the blame for all that had gone wrong that day on him, and fired him, with Lila inheriting the post of Head Assistant Researcher.
