What can happen when Marston, the Earth's greatest software programmer, who spends virtually all his life programming, finds the ultimate software? It's a product that will rid the Earth of all greed and corruption and harm.
The usual!
The greed and corruption he wants to eliminate grabs full control of his process. His A Team, who tries disparately to fulfill his mission, are over-powered by the evil forces.
He does what he has to do. He makes his Team disappear, his programs to stop working, and he commits suicide.
He leaves it to later generations of his Team to find the right time and place to re-start his systems.
Then he comes back to help.
