So you've got the artifact...good. I'll take that as a "yes" to my previous question. Just be careful with that thing. Especially now that He is watching you.
As for Colorado. Yeah, I don't know much on that regard. A concerning amount of Nomads slipped through Liberty's borders and attacked Pueblo. I scored a few kills myself, but that's about it. Best I can do is keep eyes on the situation, but right now I'm stretched thin between guarding Pennsylvania, overseeing holes created by the Sentinels and making sure I don't kick the bucket early.
