Ginger sits in a chair, contemplating what he had heard. "So, what becomes of me?" He asks. Lincoln turns to him and simply and emotionlessly states, "You continue to become a fine Commander in the military, but you disappear. Maybe you went back to Atlas during its Countdown, or maybe you went rogue. Nobody knows." Ginger looks startled "The Countdown? What the hell was that?" Lincoln answers after a slight pause. "Tensions broke between them and the Impereoreum, and both decided to completely annihilate the other. 30 galaxies were utterly destroyed, and Atlas, formerly a megapower, now faces itself peace for the first time in 18,000 years, but only has one habitable galaxy remaining. They went into inclusion, and we haven't heard from them yet. Their neighbors are mostly unaffected so far, however."
