 On April 29th 2019, the Crew had their first encounter with yet another [[Strangely-Colored Secret Society]], the harmless but irritating [[Faction of the Fooling Fish]], when a group of Fooling Fish made their way into the [[Cupid Homeworld]] through a [[Rift]] which had mysteriously appeared, linking the Homeworld to the Fish's headquarters. The [[Department of Rifts]] were unable to close the Rift in such a way that it could be relied upon to stay closed, leading to the [[Blue Feather]] taskforce being tasked with guarding the site just in case the Fish returned.

-When reports came in from [[Venus#In the 97th Cosmos|Colony World #2]] that the [[Wellsian]]s had returned, the [[Cupid Parliament]] made an official statement to the Crew, claiming that it was “nothing to worry about”. However, [[Pythagoras-858|other parties]] within the Crew disagreed, and arranged to republicise the old video Fact File about the Wellsians. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Wellsians (video story)|The Wellsians]]'')
+In the [[Morningstar 1 Base]], tensions between [[Governor-105]]'s tyrannical rule and the rest of the Crewmembers reached a boiling point on the occasion of the discovery of seven dormant [[Wellsian]]s entombed beneath the base. [[Mandragora-257]] set out to revive them, initiating “[[Mandragora's Great Experiment]]”. Heedless of Governor and rebels alike's hopes of using them as weapons to tip the balance of power, the Wellsians had their own agenda, involving the theft of a [[Fog Ship]]. Using their psychic abilities, they sent a telepathic S.O.S. to the [[Cupid Homeworld]] so that they would send the [[Department of Problem-Solving]] to help, aboard an [[Department of Problem-Solving's Fog Ship|unlocked Fog Ship]]. The Problem-Solvers gradually untangled the situation, but were too late to stop the resurrection of the Wellsians.
+While [[New Wellsian Empire|five]] escaped and stole the Ship, two others participated in a three-way confrontation between the Problem-Solvers, the rebels, and the Governor's side. During this standoff, Mandragora double-crossed the Governor, ordering [[Mizrax ag-Ustis|“his” Wellsian]] to kill him, but was in turn betrayed by the Wellsian as both aliens revealed that they had no true loyalty to any of the Cupids. They turned their weapons onto Mandragora, seemingly destroying him and causing an explosion which destroyed the two Wellsians as well as the base itself. In the aftermath, loyalists and rebels worked together to unlock the Governor's three Fog Ships to make their way back home. [[Pythagoras-858]] berated himself for not having worked out the truth sooner, and also expressed a belief that Mandragora had survived in some shape or form, even if his body had been destroyed. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Resurrection of the Wellsians (short story)|The Resurrection of the Wellsians]]'') When reports came in from “[[Venus#In the 97th Cosmos|Colony World #2]]” that the Wellsians had returned, the [[Cupid Parliament]] made an official statement to the Crew, claiming that it was “nothing to worry about”. However, [[Pythagoras-858|other parties]] within the Crew disagreed, and arranged to republicise the old video Fact File about the Wellsians.
