So, now that I'm back, among the (many) things here that I would like to accomplish this year, among those is creating a history of the Dark Vault and the security upgrades it has gone through. Since I know you enjoy it when we use science and fringe ideas instead of magic and mystery, I was hoping that you might assist me with creating the history (and also the steady improvement of technology) of the Vault.

A few ideas that I had were as follows:
 * "Dark Vault Incidents": A series of incidents which led to minor security improvements inside and outside the Vault. They aren't super common, but usually occur because of a new artifact whose activation properties or unique draws were not known or not prepared for at the time, usually resulting in the death of at least one person.
 * Clearings: Usually occurring about once every ten years (longer if there is a shortage of qualified personnel), the idea is that some artifacts may have been placed in the Vault erroneously at the time. The last "Cleaning" that resulted in artifacts being moved out of the Vault was 2014 (the last year of the show; all of the changes we have made could be said to have occurred at that time), but this was more common in the "earlier" years of the Vault. Usually only one artifact is moved out of the Vault in recent cleanings, a result of a better measure of which artifacts would be the most problematic in the Main Storage Area.
 * Full Remodels: Basically, the complete remodel of the Vault. My idea is that this has only happened three times: first, when neutralizer was first created, allowing neutralizer to pump through the artifacts; second, when a problem with the neutralizer pump causes some problems with the artifacts inside (leading to the back-up neutralizer stations, as well as the individualized fields); and thirdly, again, Artie's improvements in 2014 (which I think we should observe and try to pick out the upgrades made).

I would have to go through all of the artifacts, as I believe I picked out several that caused problems after storage, but what do you think? Would you mind assisting me?
