Cupid Fact File #828: The Strangely-Colored Secret Societies was a Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids short story written by Lupan Evezan and illustrated by Aristide Twain.

Contents

Subjects

The uploading of the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids' Files, as handled by Technician-042, goes on. Fact File #828 gives an overview of the inception of the Strangely-Colored Secret Societies on the Prime Earth, as well as a menu listing no less than sixteen of them, although — much to Technician's embarrassment — it is inactive and, even more embarrassingly given the topic, displays in black and white.
