One day in 2019, [[Juliet-178]] was keen to watch a new movie screened by the [[Department of Cinematography]] even though she had a full day's worth of work at the [[Department of Problem-Solving]]. Breaking a cardinal rule of the [[Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids|Crew]], she created a duplicate of herself to do the work for her while she snuck off to watch the movie. The duplicate, however, being too accurate a copy, had the same idea, in a chain of recursion which only ended after the creation of 1079 Juliet duplicates in total. | One day in 2019, [[Juliet-178]] was keen to watch a new movie screened by the [[Department of Cinematography]] even though she had a full day's worth of work at the [[Department of Problem-Solving]].

She mulled that she would have to ask [[Peter-707]] of the [[Department of Vehicles]] for a big favour in order to cover up the missing Fog Ship components, while the Sisters were left to contemplate where they would live and how to name themselves — what with numbers based on absolute chronological order of creation, which they'd started out using, proving hard to keep track of.

Subsequently, the “Sisters of Juliet” began causing mayhem in the [[Cupid Homeworld]], most notably when they all tried to continue Juliet's charade of a “love affair” with [[Romeo-1020]], stretching the poor lad's patience thin as they each insisted on watching the same movie with him, one after the other. Eventually, the [[Cupid Parliament]] exiled the Sisters to an asteroid in [[Dimension 1579]] to cool off. Romeo-1020 was sent in with them, though they allowed the original Juliet to remain in the Homeworld due to her invaluable position at the Department of Problem-Solving. [[Sigmund-1028]] was also sent to Dimension 1579 to serve as overseer for the impromptu colony. He used his experience there to found the [[Department of Psychology]] after returning home.

When the [[Copper-Colored Council of Elders]] instituted the [[Cupid Suggestion Box]], the original [[Juliet-178]], seeing how [[Pseudo-Pessimist]] had been “readily accepted” in the Homeworld, put in a request to bring the Sisters back to the Homeworld. However, it was denied, in part because the Elders had not meant to set such a far-reaching precedent when they allowed Pseudo-Pessimist to stay, and in part because it was clear from the wording of her note that Juliet intended to resume using the Sisters to get out of doing her chores if she got her wish.
