}}The '''Department of Construction''' was a department of the [[Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids]]. Headed by [[Foreman-964]], it oversaw building work in the [[Cupid Homeworld]], and had a particular obsession with building ever larger and more numerous warehouses, far in excess of the Cupids' actual need for such buildings. | }}The '''Department of Construction''' was a department of the [[Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids]].

This was ultimately discovered by the [[Blue Feather]], who blackmailed Philatel into letting them take over the West Wing as their new HQ. In turn, the Department of Construction were offered the Blue Feather's old, much less comfortable HQ to demolish and build over, which suited them, as they found the location even better. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Acquaintanceship-982 and the Missing Mail Mystery (short story)|Acquaintanceship-982 and the Missing Mail Mystery]]'') This truce did not last long, however, with Philatel commenting negatively on a later warehouse plan, which made the headlines of Issue 1020 of ''[[The Cupid Courier]]''. This new mega-warehouse was projected to contain 32 rooms, each as large as a regular warehouse.

[[Foreman | Around the time when the [[Cupid Suggestion Box]] was active, the Department of Construction had, for some time, been building “three or four warehouses per week”, which Foreman thought insufficient, and he used the Box to petition the Council to authorise him to kick the pace up a notch, as well as to allow him to finally raise the Post Office's West Wing. The Council denied both requests. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Cupid Suggestion Box (short story)|The Cupid Suggestion Box]]'') Even after the end of the [[Rifts Crisis]], Foreman evidenced that he still coveted the Post Office's location.
