====Universes====

* [[Pessimist-242]] claims to have “a [[positronic brain]] the size of the [[Cupid Homeworld|Homeworld]]”.

* Pessimist's Fog Ship was the sole creation of an ultimately-cancelled collaborative project between the [[Department of Transportation]] and the [[Department of Technological Advancement]] to create artificially intelligent ships.

* The [[Drove of the Database-Compiling Dromedaries]] is led by the [[High Board of the Drove]], below whom the hierarchy includes the [[Head Researcher]], and then the [[Assistant Researcher]]s, who are led by a [[Head Assistant Researcher]].

* [[Research Laboratory 6]] is where the [[Drove of the Database-Compiling Dromedaries]] keep nonhuman prisoners from [[Strangely-Colored Secret Society|Strangely-Colored Secret Societies]], including the [[Gang of the Green Gorilla]], the [[Secret League of the Orange-Bearded Gnomes]], the [[Horde of Mad Elephants]], the [[Zany Zebras]], the [[Collection of the Camouflaged Chameleons]], the [[Cohort of the Clockmaking Capybara]], the [[Society of the Scarlet Crabs]], the [[Sect of the Silver-Shelled Snails]], the [[Ennead of the Eigengrau Easter Eggs]], the [[Trio of the Talking Turkeys]], the [[Possé of the Azure-And-Emerald Panther]], the [[Gaggle of the Golden Goats]] and the [[Syndicate of the Sleeping Salamanders]]. All over the room, cells were opened and society members came jumping ecstatically to their freedom.. At one point, they even had a [[Retconning Crocodile (Pessimist and the Dromedaries)|member]] of the [[Collective of the Retconning Crocodiles]], but “rewrote history and made it so that we’d never captured him”, leaving behind a “taunting note” to inform his once-captors of this fact.

* The [[First Horde]] created theDatabase-Compiling Dromedaries to act as their documentation division, but later wiped the Dromedaries' memories of their origins and abandoned the building when they decided to jettison their enter documentation division to save on funds.

* Pessimist mentions that [[Bibliophile-962]], head of the [[Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids|Crew]]'s own [[Department of Documentation]], is constantly lacking for funds and equipment, and keeps borrowing stuff from him.

* The Dromedaries' scanner is able to pinpoint Pessimist's home dimension via [[dimensional residue]], although the Dromedaries do not possess the technology for interdimensional travel.

* Pessimist estimates that there's “a little over a thousand” members in the Crew.

* Cupids were created by [[Cupida Hartnell|their Creator]] with the ability to interface with any electrical appliance made before the 1960s. However, this ability has never been updated to keep up with the times.

* The [[Head Guard (Pessimist of the Dromedaries)|leader]] of the team of five guards guarding Research Laboratory 6 has the title of [[Head Guard]].

* Pessimist's Fog Ship has its own [[positronic brain]], which is linked to Pessimist's. It also has a [[mega-speed drive]] it can switch on to travel through the Void particularly fast.

===Continuity===

* During his interrogation, [[Pessimist-242]] recounts how [[Lord Thymon]] became a mail-sorter at the [[Department of Postal Services]] after being hit with a [[Cupid Arrow|Love Arrow]], as depicted in [[PROSE]]: ''[[Lord Thymon and the Department of Problem-Solving (short story)|Lord Thymon and the Department of Problem-Solving]]'' and [[COMIC]]: ''[[Whatever Happened to Lord Thymon? (comic story)|Whatever Happened to Lord Thymon?]]''.
