 At some point, a [[Retconning Crocodile (Pessimist and the Dromedaries)|Retconning Crocodile]] was captured by the [[Drove of the Database-Compiling Dromedaries]] and imprisoned in [[Research Laboratory 6]], but it was able to rewrite time to erase its capture from the timeline. It chose to leave behind a taunting note informing the Dromedaries of what had occurred, rather than leave them blissfully ignorant that they'd had any contact with the Collective at all. [[Darius]] would later mention this incident to [[Pessimist-242]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Pessimist and the Dromedaries (short story)|Pessimist and the Dromedaries]]'')
-The [[Geometron Pentagon]] once brokered an ill-fated alliance with the “horrible three-dimensional reptiles”, which, after its failure, eroded the [[Geometron|population]]'s trust in the Pentagon. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Multiversal Mischief (short story)|Multiversal Mischief]]'') They were also involved in the quest for [[the Frost King#Member of the Council|the Frost King]]'s treasure, as were the [[Wellsian]]s.
+The [[Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids]] had various [[Cupid Fact File|files]] on the Crocodiles in their [[Cupid Archives|Archives]], but they kept disappearing; although [[Herodotus-724]] thought there was a chance they had simply been misplaced, it seemed sadly likely to [[Bibliophile-962]] that the Crocodiles had retconned them out of existence to protect their secrets.

([[COMIC]]: ''[[Crocodile Time (comic story)|Crocodile Time]]'')]]At one point, the Crocodiles developed a new temporal manipulation device called the [[Upstream Staff]] , which would make its wielder's time-stream run backwards relative to their environment — though in discrete chunks, corresponding to turns in a conversation, rather than moment by moment. A [[Retconning Crocodile (Crocodile Time)|Retconning Crocodile]] travelled to the [[Cupid Homeworlder]] and showed the Staff to a [[Cupid (Crocodile Time)|Cupid]], but they both got angry due to talking at literal cross purposes because the Crocodile had inadvertently activated the Staff.
