When the [[faceless magician (Magic Trick)|faceless magician]]'s magic hat caused the [[Cupid Homeworld]] to be overwhelmed by a flood of white rabbits, the main five members of the Department of Problem-Solving (who had been working “on the best way to romanticize [[Ennead of the Eigengrau Easter Eggs|anthropomorphic eigengrau eggshells]]”, save for Pythe, who was attending [[Cupid Parliament]]) and [[Lord Thymon]] took refuge in an empty warehouse while most of the Crew took refuge outside the Homeworld, with the [[Cupid Prime]] having ordered them to solve the problem right before he fled in [[Cupid Prime's Fog Ship|his own Fog Ship]]. After three days, having concluded that only a ''Deus Ex Machina'' could save the Homeworld, [[Valerius-1497]] told the others that they should summon [[Aphrodite#In the Prime Universe|Aphrodite]] herself to help. The plan worked, but before she used her powers to make the rabbits and hat vanish, the goddess took out her anger at being summoned without permission on Valerius, turning him into a (mechanical) parakeet. The Problem-Solvers elected not to tempt fate by asking Aphrodite to reverse the transformation, content to add returning Valerius to his natural form to their list of problems to be solved.

On [[Halloween]] 2019, after [[the Great Ghost's legion]] invaded, [[Pythagoras-858]] gathered up the Problem-Solvers. After the [[One-Way Forced Spirit Realm Gateway]] transported a few Cupids including Pythe to the [[Spirit Realm]] by accident, the remaining Problem-Solvers inspected it, but were unable to find the reverse switch until Pythe himself managed to materialise in [[Juliet-178]]'s house like a [[ghost]] and tell her how to do it. Subsequently, the Problem-Solvers, [[Technophile-963]] and [[Igor-1612]] boarded a [[Fog Ship]] and flew it to the abandoned [[Prime Universe]] theatre where the spirits had retreated to make the kidnapped [[Frankenstein-818]] create a [[Reverse Spirit Realm Gateway]]. There, the Problem-Solvers managed to sneak Frankenstein safely off the stage while the ghosts were defeated.
