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.

A little while later, [[Conspiracy-1263]], the [[Prefect]] of the [[Department of Conspiracy Theories]], made the headlines of ''[[The Cupid Courier]]'' Issue #1034 when he travelled to the [[Prime Universe|Prime]] [[Earth#In the Prime Universe|Earth]] to tell the [[Gang of the Green Gorilla]], to their faces, that they were “a bunch of fakes in gorilla suits”. The Gorillas retaliated by capturing Conspiracy and leaving him tied up at a carnival on a rack of prizes. He was rescued by other Cupids and interviewed, with his observation that the Green Gorillas had been “rather displeased with the whole situation” being noted as a rare instance of a completely factual Conspiracy quote.
