Eventually, the digging of a new pool for Governor-105 in the lower levels of [[Morningstar 1]] led to the accidental discovery of a buried [[Wellsian]] [[Tripod]]. Inside it, [[Mandragora-257]] and [[Digger-291]] discovered multiple hibernating, dessicated, but still technically living [[Wellsian]]s. Both realised their potential as weapons, especially as the aliens would know how to repair and operate the [[Heat Ray]] weapons also scattered in the ruined ship. Mandragora told Governor about his discovery and got the Governor to authorise [[Mandragora's Great Experiment|the “Great Experiment”]] to bring the Wellsians back to life. Before a count had been performed, Digger, secretly part of a covert rebellion formed by the other Morningstar Cupids, spirited [[Retsha sog-Wampyr|one Wellsian]] away to carry out his own version of the ritual based on observation of Mandragora's progress. | Eventually, the digging of a new pool for Governor-105 in the lower levels of [[Morningstar 1]] led to the accidental discovery of a buried [[Wellsian]] [[Tripod]].

The Wellsians themselves couldn't wait to break free of the Cupids' hold; even before they were physically resurrected, their telepathic minds were active, scheming their escape. Having realised that the [[Fog Ship]]s were locked and the Governor would never let the Wellsians use them unsupervised, they sent a psychic distress signal to the [[Cupid Homeworld]], leading the [[Department of Problem-Solving]] to come to Morningstar in [[Department of Problem-Solving's Fog Ship|their Department Fog Ship]], which they parked a little ways outside the base and left unlocked. When [[Pythagoras-858]], [[Juliet-178]], [[Carter-1277]] and [[Edwin-750]] were taken to Governor's throne room by [[Dactylopius-177|the Deputy Governor]], he feigned to be even more foppish and careless than he really was, and vaguely told them to go talk to Mandragora. | The Wellsians themselves couldn't wait to break free of the Cupids' hold; even before they were physically resurrected, their telepathic minds were active, scheming their escape.

Dismissing the artist, Governor casually revealed to them that Mandragora was acting on his authority and shooed them out of the throne room, having told them that the Experiment was too far in for them to do anything about it now. Indeed, a short while later, Mandragora successfully resurrected the six Wellsians under his care. Taking [[Mizrax ag-Ustis|one]], armed with a [[Heat Ray]], with him, Mandragora joined the Governor, and the three confronted the Problem-Solvers in the communications room, which they had finally realised was empty. As Mandragora and Governor launched into shared gloating about their world-conquering plans, they were beset by Dactylopius, flanked by the rebellion's [[Retsha sog-Wampyr|own Wellsian]]. A standoff ensued, broken when Mandragora ordered his Wellsian to shoot the Governor instead of Dactylopius or his Wellsian. Gleefully obeying, since this fit in with the Wellsians' plans as much as Mandragora's, the Wellsian used its Heat Ray to shoot a hole clean through Governor-105, disintegrating his [[Gemstone Heart]] and thus killing him instantly.
