The first was #94, concerning the [[Euclidean Plane]]. Around the same time, the Crew was trying, unsuccessfully, to covertly [[Love Potion|romanticize]] the [[Chief of the Euclidean Flying Squad|Chief]] of the [[Euclidean Flying Squad]] in the hope of getting him to stop the Flying Squad from opposing the Crew's operations in the Euclidean Plane.
