([[COMIC]]: ''[[Professional Endorsement (comic story)|Professional Endorsement]]'')]]Some time in November 2019, Conquest's plans with the Triangular Society reached a crescendo when he successfully dynamited the [[Cupid Parliament building]]. In this, he was unexpectedly assisted by a [[Cupid (Professional Endorsement)|random Parliament-member]] who'd caught him in the act, and made a snap decision to get some catharsis by helping along instead of trying to stop him. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Professional Endorsement (comic story)|Professional Endorsement]]'') No other members of Parliament were nearby, however, such that the attack caused no casualties: the Parliament had yet to resume regular sessions in the aftermath of the [[Rabbit Invasion]]. After the smoke cleared, the [[Council of Elders]] decided to commission [[Foreman-964]]'s [[Department of Construction]] to build a new Parliament building, pleading with him that it not be a warehouse (something about which Foreman made no promises).

In December 2019, while debating whether to join [[Dandy-432]] on his quest for [[the Frost King (The Frost King's Treasure)|the Frost King]]'s treasure, [[Pessimist-242]] motivated himself by telling himself that “if they killed Dandy, the Parliament would blame him for not picking up the pieces”.
