It would make sense to have a strong Weirdness Censor artifact in place to prevent others from seeing things that aren't so easily explained. After all, it'd be hard to explain some of the larger happenstances.

I would also like to ask you about the Stargate artifact. Honestly, I'm not sure if that will work out - hopefully just for the time being - considering Draco's view on the matter. From all I've thought of, the travel is the key part for the artifact; however, his sole condition, allowing it to connect to other Stargates or similarly round structures on Earth, sort of defeats the purpose, doesn't it? On the sole assumption that it connects to other Stargates, one would have to make another prop (would that connection technically make that prop an artifact too?) and place it wherever. Which the Regents might consider as a back-up to the back-up to the back-up plan, but it seems complicated and rather pointless considering the many alternatives (although I suppose you can't be too careful). And honestly, I'm not sure if he would be willing to accept a condition of possibility that it might work differently in a future where the Warehouse is in space, when something like the Stargate would be a reasonable way to travel (after all, it's still faster than FTL) and the Regents would have different props built on the different planets to allow faster travel from the Warehouse (and to, although since they are props, the Warehouse would have to dial out to reach the prop, which might be a bit of a pain, but useful in emergencies) because it would "defictionalize the show" in the future (although I would argue at that point that some species could have developed similar technology on their own). It just seems kind-of pointless to try to fight against something whose effects get shot down. I apologize for that little rant, I just needed to let off a bit of steam.

That being said, I assume if I would make just about any other object from the show into an artifact, it would probably be alright as long as it doesn't involve travel of any sort? Maybe a few props from the main characters or something?
