Ben and Zane once again found themselves in the middle of a

techno-anarcho-revolution. Cowards that they are, the Cartoncasters hurried

to figure out the situation so that they could best ingratiate themselves

with the side best able to protect them. It was...difficult. The rebels

seemed to be in the right, claiming that the Alliance's use of Noultramium

was a clear violation of the Peace Accords of 20XX (named for the Peace

Accordions, of course). The Alliance, for their part, said that the rebels

were targeting civilians with mind-control. Eventually they gave up and

joined the Tarot Turncoats, clearly a group of double-agents, but at least

they had cool haircuts.
