Delighting in old-fashioned pranks like pie-throwing, electrically-charged hand-buzzers or glueing googly eyes to things, the Faction of the Fooling Fish were originally only active on Earth, although they made some incursions into the [[Cupid Homeworld]] thanks to freak dimensional [[Rifts]] connecting it to Earth. However, in the eleventh hour of the “Rifts Crisis”, the Fooling Fish somehow acquired a [[tachyonic sailing ship]] which they used to rescue [[Marksmanship-522]], [[Tracker-764]], [[Bibliophile-962]] and [[Pythagoras-858]] from the impending explosion of [[Mandragora's Machine]] and return them to the Cupid Homeworld. | Delighting in old-fashioned pranks like pie-throwing, electrically-charged hand-buzzers or glueing googly eyes to things, the Faction of the Fooling Fish were originally only active on Earth, although they made some incursions into the [[Cupid Homeworld]] thanks to freak dimensional [[Rifts]] connecting it to Earth.

In or slightly before December 2021, the Faction found a universe they couldn't enter, which they decided to name [[Dimension Zeta-32-Orangepeel-Grbbrzkwlkglb]]. It seemed to be surrounded by a shield which caused a permanent storm “around” it on the [[Chronon Sea]]. They headed to the [[Interdimensional Library]] for research, and discovered that this dimension was an artificial [[pocket universe]], used as a haven by the survivors of a [[pandimensional war (The Winter Quests)|pandimensional war]]. | |||
After the robot [[CS-NA]] randomly landed aboard the Faction's tachyonic ship, by then renamed the ''[[Fish'n'Ship]]'', while he was using his [[Dematerialisation Engine]] randomly, they convinced him to serve as their guinea pig on what they claimed would be Christmas-themed pranks; though he had fun engaging in Christmas-themed activities for a whole day under their supervision, CS-NA couldn't figure out how they were supposed to count as “pranks”, which, indeed, they weren't. The Faction instead wanted to ensure he would be suitable for a mission for which they needed his help: steering the ''Fish'n'Ship'' past the shield so as to bring the pocket universe's inhabitants the joys of the holiday season. After they succeeded, CS-NA, concluding that “Fun” was another fundamental element of the holiday, agreed to stay for a little while and enjoy the celebration.
