Deeming the idea mad enough to have some chances of working on a conceptual entity like Thymon, Pythe allowed them to go forwards, threatening to detonate a [[Reality Bomb]] (retrieved from [[Cupid Storage]] by Carter) to lure Thymon to the [[Cupid Homeworld]]. After he was indeed summoned, Juliet ended up taking it upon herself to simply hit him with a [[Cupid Arrow]], [[Love Potion|romanticising]] him and solving the issue decisively.

===Mandragora's Great Experiment=== | |||
{{main|Mandragora's Great Experiment}} | |||
When a mysterious S.O.S. was picked up in the [[Cupid Homeworld]], seemingly coming from the [[Morningstar 1 Base]] in the [[97th Cosmos]], the [[Cupid Parliament]] decided to send in the Department, consisting in this instance of [[Pythagoras-858]], [[Juliet-178]], Carter-1277 and [[Edwin-750]]. The latter was drowsy through the whole endeavour, having recently created a psychic link between himself and a [[Sloth (The Resurrection of the Wellsians)|sloth]], and failed to properly lock the [[Department of Problem-Solving's Fog Ship]] when they parked some way outside the base. In Morningstar proper, they were greeted by Juliet's brother [[Dactylopius-177]] and gradually discovered that [[Governor-105]] harboured intentions of seceding from the Crew and launching an attempt to conquer [[the Multiverse]], using the power of the seven [[Wellsian]]s unearthed from beneath the base by [[Mandragora-257]] and [[Digger-291]], whom the former, a disgraced alchemist, had been working on reviving via “[[Mandragora's Great Experiment]]”. Carter played a crucial part, infiltrating the digging site while Pythe kept Mandragora talking. | |||
With even Dactylopius affecting to be helpless in the face of the evil plan, the Problem-Solvers attempted to get word to the Homeworld, but found that the Governor had emptied out the communications room. They were then confronted by Mandragora and the Governor, assisted by [[Mizrax ag-Ustis|a Wellsian]]. The situation turned into a three-way standoff when Dactylopius also arrived, flanked by Digger and [[Retsha sog-Wampyr|a second Wellsian]], as Digger explained that he'd been on the rebellion's side all along (under Dactylopius's directions), smuggling out one Wellsian (and its [[Heat Ray]]) to match their enemies' new weapons. The Problem-Solvers were unable to stop the situation escalating until andragora double-crossed the Governor, ordering “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, with the Problem-Solvers forced to join them.
