His niece, Mindy Cornell, had infiltrated the Digital Revolution which was secretly formed by Ian Neidhardt, Vera's father.

(Worldwide Network of the DigiDestined). They also called Andy and his father Julius Conteh, who was also an friend of Thompson. They explained the Tamers the existence of the Digital Revolution and that Calumon had power to make other Digimon Digivolve.

He also called General John Campbell to send soldiers to defeat the brainwashed Digimon, while he and his niece prevented the Revolutionaries from reclaiming their data.
