A good 'in', if you want to link your team to the growing artifact craziness is to make one of those contacts someone fun, like Harlequin or Ehran the Scribe.
Well, since my game is set in fall of 2053 (The current game date is Dec 30, to be precice). A Harlequin connection might be more appropriate. But I am planning on sending them on a truckjacking job on I-5 for a shipment of stuff bound for Portland, so a Tir contact will soon come in handy for them.
