"Well, our patrols are not going to be made up completely of automatons, but we do have some spheres that are assigned independent tasks." Ri'vashi clarified. "For example, there are a few spheres we have that just roll up and down the road from the Silent City to Raldbthar. Evidently, the Falmer avoid the Dwemer machines, so merely having them there can prevent attacks. They can operate continuously, without rest. This one does not know how, or if they will ever need their power source replaced, but it has been useful."

Brenann scratched his head in thought. "It is...somewhat difficult to describe. The dynamos provide the source of their steam power through means we do not entirely understand. Or, really understand at all, actually. The Aninonculory creates the dynamos on its own as long as we provide the raw inputs, so we have not needed to understand them."

Brenann could not help but to smile when Ariel actually seemed to be impressed by the automatons. Meesei was far more reserved in her reactions, so it was refreshing to see obvious, visible appreciation for his work. "They...should work up there. We don't have too much of a reason to think they won't. We've already brought them just outside Raldbthar and they were able to function, but we haven't yet been approved to test them farther away. Too much of a risk, I believe. It is well-known that the automatons in Morrowind will stop functioning if they are brought away from their strongholds, but the automatons in Skyrim work differently. We have not seen anything to suggest that our machines rely on something here to keep working, but it is not yet proven for certain. Regardless, I agree on how amazing they are. You are going to be doing important work here; do you need an assistant? All I would need is a sample of your blood."

Since Ariel was interested, Brenann looked to his spider, then pointed to the spot on the table directly in front of Ariel. It obediently walked over in front of her and stopped in place, its only movements being a slight swaying and the spinning of its gyro.
