Taking [[Mizrax ag-Ustis|one Wellsian]], 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. Mandragora then demanded that his Wellsian kill Dactylopius's Wellsian. However, this forced the laughing Wellsians to reveal that they had no true loyalty to anyone. Despite Mandragora's pleas, they trained all of their Heat Rays on him and shot him. | Taking [[Mizrax ag-Ustis|one Wellsian]], 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.

Because Mandragora had various explosive substances in his pockets, this caused a huge conflagration which knocked down the walls of Morningstar 1 and killed the two Wellsians, although the Cupids around Mandragora were unharmed and the five other resurrected Wellsians had already made their way out of the base to steal the Problem-Solvers' Fog Ship. As the dust | Because Mandragora had various explosive substances in his pockets, this caused a huge conflagration which knocked down the walls of Morningstar 1 and killed the two Wellsians, although the Cupids around Mandragora were unharmed and the five other resurrected Wellsians had already made their way out of the base to steal the Problem-Solvers' Fog Ship. As the dust cleared, however, Pythagoras became increasingly certain that he had “not seen the last” of Mandragora; Pythe was not even sure that the blast had been enough to even destroy Mandragora's Clockwork Cherub frame, but was, at any rate, convinced that Mandragora must have had some supernatural contingency plan in place in case he died.

Nevertheless, his death was reported by the [[Department of Obituaries]], and the entry that was written for him in the [[Book of Evil]] marked him as deceased, though it recorded Pythe's objections. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Book of Evil (short story)|The Book of Evil]]'') | |||
