Abstract: Let $S=x^2+c_1,x^2+c_2,dots,x^2+c_s$ be a set of quadratic polynomials with rational coefficients, and let $P$ be a rational basepoint. We classify the pairs $(S,P)$ for which $P$ has finite orbit for $S$, assuming that the maximum period length for each individual polynomial is at most three (conjectured by Poonen). In particular, under these hypotheses we prove that if $sgeq4$, then there are no points $P$ with finite orbit for $S$. Moreover, we use this perspective to formulate an analog of the Morton-Silverman Conjecture for sets of rational functions.
