===Mandragora's Great Experiment=== | ===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]]”. Juliet was particularly incensed due to her prior history with the Wellsians, but they failed to convince either Mandragora or the Governor that, regardless of ethical qualms, the Wellsians were too dangerous to bargain with. | 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]].

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. | 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.
