Artifact use Is dangerous to health

Well now, this ISNT one of my annoying threads NO, its about the artifacts in Sirius. Most artifacts found were "inert pieces of metal and crystal, inscribed with alien runes" but the ones found on planet Pygar (Oddly enough a Zoner Base) were active, and this is what the story is based on. But if the active artifacts are still in one piece dont you think Quintaine, Sinclair and other xeno archeolegists would decifer them and put them to practical use?
Like Quintaine said the artifacts were used for power and he mentioned shields and weapons. SO if they could modify an artifact, open an ancient Dom Kavash hyper-gate and dispose of Nomads couldnt they find out how to power a shield or weapon with them and create some super lv10 Dom Kavash Weapons/Shields for crying out loud!!

Couldnt they! Of course if they did they would probably only give them to the Order to use on the Nomads (possibly Dom Kavash) return.
What do you think?

Me:Ok One last chance to surrender!
Enemy:WHAT! We outnumber you 6 to 1!
Me: Maybe I could drop some weapons to make it easier for you!

well for the key u needed a nomad power cell.
so u would have to find a power cell for every artifact
and the humans weren't capable of making a power cell that would power the artifact

sticks and stones may break my bones but whips and chains excite me!

Well the gates were already there and all they had to do was to use the artifact to power them (Not a very complicated thing to do). On the other hand they would have to design the Dom Kavash shields and weaponary from scratch. Since they dont have a prototype and the only thing they have is the powercell.

Youve got a point, but if some of this artifacts were power cells I reckon if you tried hard enough you could hardwire them into existing shield technology and go from there. You know use the artifacts to fast forward human technology.
And then when the Nomads did return you would have something made for fighting them, because next time there is no hyper gate to suck them all in and we will HAVE to destroy them all, at least we would have an edge...

So how would you hardwire a jet engine from a jumbo jet on to your little Cessna?

Hey CW you know, it would be very easy, just strap it on with a bit tape and hold on tight! Man I really wanna try that now! Ill just get some tools.....

That Cessna will break the sound berrior! Then go boom.

correction: the cessna would break, and maybe a piece or 2 would break the sound barrier. but any way, it would be cool if more alien technology were included rather than just 2 guns...though they are awesome...
