Talk:Warehouse 12/@comment-5782071-20170711204441

Okay, I was thinking, and perhaps Helena's timeline isn't as screwed up as I thought. I suppose it's possible that she could have interned at WH12 before becoming a full agent, and she collected Jack the Ripper's Lantern during her first month as an official agent after her internship was over. However, the first month was noted as... 1899, I believe? And Cangku Shisi stated that the OG WH13 burned down in 1898.

I know that this timeline states that WH12 wasn't officially closed down until 1914, but with a quick scan of it I can't see a mention of WH13 v1's burning. So, my thought was that a previous Warehouse is not immediately shut down once the new Warehouse is completed, even if all the files have been transferred or destroyed and all the artifacts have been transferred. What if Warehouse 12 was still in action even while 13 v1 was complete?

Considering that it took over a decade for the new WH13 to completed, that's a long, long time for artifacts to be running amok without a proper storage space. And since Helena was still working for Warehouse 12 a year after 13 v1's disaster, it would make sense for the previous Warehouse to remain active for a short time before being completely shut down.

The only problem I have with this idea is that it doesn't factor in the idea that Helena was the one who scouted the location for 13, and she acts like WH13 is years away, since she thought Britain would forever house 12.

I know this might not make sense and that the timeline has it's own explanation, but I just wanted to get this thought out there so I won't forget it completely.
