Since gravity's effects cannot be localized due to the reshaping of
spacetime (not true wave cancellation), what will happen is that there will
be a place where there will be two warps in it, instead of one:
Instead of:
---------\ /----------

* <-- Gravity Generator
you will get:
-----\ /----------

* \ / * First Gravity Generator

Sounds good to me.
