They’ve done some bad things. </p><p>This week, Quinn, Chris, and Other Chris cover Ulysses from discovery to impact to the decades of fallout we still live with today. How humanity faced a possible extinction event, how we came together to defend ourselves, and how <strong>every</strong> Shield against Ulysses was turned into a Sword for war. </p><p>[This is an in-character episode covering the Ulysses Impact Event from the video game series <em>Ace Combat</em>.
