The Cupid authorities refused to ratify this agreement and attempted to obviate the need for negotiations by increasing the security measures of the Cupid warehouse, with little success. A second Cupid detachment was sent back to the Magpies' H.Q. to romanticise them, but it was found that this only increased their enthusiasm for theft, failing to solve the Cupids' problem. Ultimately, the [[Cupid Parliament]] decreed that the Cupids should simply remain neutral towards the Magpies and avoid them altogether. The Magpies solved their storage problem by building a larger warehouse, while the Cupids moved their own hoard of Arrows to some other location unknown to the Magpies.

“Nearly a century” after the failed 1897 [[Wellsian]] invasion of [[Earth#In the 97th Cosmos|Earth]] in the [[97th Cosmos]], the Crew set up a base called [[Morningstar 1]] on the planet [[Venus#In the 97th Cosmos|Venus]] of that universe, seemingly purely because they felt that they ought to have a base on some version of the planet named after [[Aphrodite|their goddess]], rather than because there was a particular strategic advantage to it. Indeed, the [[Council of Frogs]] only authorised this project on the grounds that this version of Venus was uninhabited, and with a promise from the Cupids that they wouldn't try to attack the nearby Earth. As a result, the base became a dumping-ground for Cupids the Crew wanted banished from the primary [[Cupid Homeworld|Homeworld]], including several unshrunken [[Mark IV]]s and the disgraced alchemist [[Mandragora-257]], who had caused the deaths of several Cupids in a failed experiment.
