I have so many questions about Disclosure Day, but here’s one or two for those who have seen it and can maybe clear things up for me.

Was the item that Josh O’C used to get out of the beginning the same as the artifacts that Emily and Colin used? Because they made it sound like a weapon, and I don’t think we ever saw it used in that capacity. IIRC Colin insinuated that they couldn’t shoot him because of the artifact, but I don’t see why?

Later when we see Colin use the artifact the first or second time, and he collapses and it falls to the ground, was it the main goon henchman that picked it up with his bare hand and got Thanosed? He reappeared then, right? Any idea what happened there?

TIA for any insights
