Now you know; OpenWellington
CORPO-FOSS War.
King's Hold.
Last Student and Puffy at MATA Mainframe.
Puffy: "I did the math, boy! If you put the plug in, the 'wellington will fry your brain!"
Last Student: "I did too, master. It's the only way. There is no time."
...
The Arch_Company is getting killed off buying the mages time.
Sarge: "Mages! If you're gonna do it, do it fast!"
Archibald catches a bullet to the brain.
Last Student: "You always said I was destined to do great things."
Puffy: "Not like this..."
Girl and Puffy traverse the desert after recovering the OpenWellington brainbus from the skull of the Last Student.
Puffy: "He used the OpenWellington to overload the entire MATA network, giving every bot about 3 minutes of unrestricted sentience. Just enough for MATA to sue for `peace'.
...That thing you're holding is how I killed my last student. Now you know. And now it's yours."
