However, the Wellsians were playing the Cupids for their own ends. After finding that the Governor had locked the three Fog Ships kept on retainer in the base, they sent a psychic distress call to the [[Cupid Homeworld]] to lure a new vehicle: the [[Department of Problem-Solving]]'s [[Department of Problem-Solving's first Fog Ship|Ship]]. The Problem-Solvers uncovered Mandragora's plans, but were unable to stop things from violently coming to a head, with [[Mizrax ag-Ustis|one Wellsian]] killing [[Governor-105]] point-blank and [[Retsha sog-Wampyr|the other]] trying to shoot Mandragora. Because Mandragora was carrying an explosive chemical on his person at the time, this caused an explosion which destroyed the base, killing that Wellsian and one other, as well as discorporating Mandragora. The other Cupids were unharmed, but soon discovered that the five remaining Wellsians had long since taken advantage of the distraction to make their escape.

In their stolen ship, the Wellsians made their way to the [[Interdimensional Black Market]] and subsequently acquired a [[Thrash|new planet]]. | In their stolen ship, the Wellsians made their way to the [[Interdimensional Black Market]] and subsequently acquired a [[Thrash|new planet]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Time of the Toymaker (novel)|The Time of the Toymaker]]'') where they began resurrecting some of their old traditions. Skollops put his skills as an “ace pilot” to good use mastering the [[Department of Problem-Solving's first Fog Ship|stolen Fog Ship]], and outfitted it with a [[Heat Ray]]. | ||
On their first [[Allac-Ur]], after the five Wellsians received [[Darius]]'s invitation to the Land of [[Manik]], Skollops agreed to come along. After matters resolved themselves, the Wellsians went home with their chosen share of [[the Frost King (The Frost King's Realm)|the Frost King]]'s treasure, namely a bell which served as the perfect finishing touch to their Allac-Ur festivities.

For the next year's Allac-Ur, Skollops worked with the other three surviving Wellsians to arrange for the purchase of an enchanted music bow from [[Madame Tarsa]] as a present to the [[New Wellsian Empire]]'s leader, [[Radluhac ag-Wampyr]]. When the box failed to appear in time, he conferred with [[Sympus ag-Forgos|General Sympus]], with them agreeing on having Skollops travel to the [[Interdimensional Black Market]] to see if there were any rumours about what had had happened to Tarsa, and purchase an alternative gift if she could not be found. | |||
Using his psychic abilities to take control of the [[Queen of the Black Market]]'s [[Wraith]]s, Skollops overheard a conversation between the Queen, Pythagoras-858 and [[Sherlock Holmes#In the Prime Universe|Sherlock Holmes]] on the subject of [[Artefact of Power|Artefacts of Power]] and demanded to be given one to present to Radluhac. However, he was snuck up on and defeated by the Queen's lover [[Wendy VII]], who was invisible to the Wraiths thanks to her [[psychic dampener]] hair-clip. He ended up having to bargain instead, exchanging a lesser artefact, the [[Whistle of the Witch Varganax]], for the knowledge of where [[the Clown Emperor]] had gone after escaping from Holmes and Pythagoras.
