Having unearthed the Tripod by accident while trying to dig up a new pool, [[Mandragora-257]], who had been banished to Morningstar after one of his experiments went wrong in the Homeworld, engaged in a [[Mandragora's Great Experiment|“Great Experiment”]] to revive the intact, but hibernating Wellsians he had extracted from the wreckage. He promised the Governor that the resurrected aliens, who would be able to rebuild their [[Heat Ray]]s, would allow him to rebel against the Crew once and for all, conquer the Earth, and use it as a launching point for an all-out campaign across [[the Multiverse]]. | Having unearthed the Tripod by accident while trying to dig up a new pool, [[Mandragora-257]], who had been banished to Morningstar after one of his experiments went wrong in the Homeworld, engaged in a [[Mandragora's Great Experiment|“Great Experiment”]] to revive the intact, but hibernating Wellsians he had extracted from the wreckage.

However, the Wellsians were playing the Cupids for their own ends. After finding that the Governor had locked the three Fog Ships kept on retainer in the base, they sent a psychic distress call to the Cupid Homeworld to lure a new vehicle: the [[Department of Problem-Solving]]'s [[Department of Problem-Solving's Fog Ship|Ship]]. The Problem-Solvers uncovered Mandragora's plans, but were unable to stop things from violently coming to a head, with [[Retsha sog-Wampyr|one Wellsian]] killing [[Governor-105]] point-blank and the other trying to shoot Mandragora. Because Mandragora was carrying an explosive chemical on his person at the time, this caused an explosion which destroyed the base, killing that Wellsian and one other, as well as discorporating Mandragora. The other Cupids were unharmed, but soon discovered that the five remaining Wellsians had long since taken advantage of the distraction to make their escape.
