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."
