"It does not surprise me that you heard the word before; the 36 Lessons of Vivec was a prolific book series, particularly in Morrowind. But, few ever understood it. It is cryptic, like everything concerning the warrior-poet. Makes sense, considering that it wasn't meant for the people. It was meant for Nerevar, but that does not mean there is not wisdom within. Vivec was an authority on the Walking Ways. I doubt you could begin to imagine how many years I have spent studying his writings alone. You seem like at least a [i]somewhat[/i] bright girl, perhaps you remember the sermon where Vivec first learned of the secret syllable? His meeting with Molag Bal." Neesa replied, though Lunise's comment gained only a quick, passing glance from her. "Hmm? Oh, it doesn't at all. You kept asking questions and I was bored enough to answer them. You should be honored to receive some fraction of my knowledge. Though I imagine my knowledge is more likely than not to just get [i]you[/i] killed. The path to CHIM is the [i]most[/i] dangerous undertaking in all of existence." Finally, Neesa stood up from kneeling next to the spider and looked to Meesei. "As I thought, this machine is newly made, but according to the default Dwemer templates. My guess is that you just managed to reactivate an Animonculory and learned [i]just[/i] enough to make its creations obey you. Understandable, since it would take a tonal architect for you to do any more with them. I shall be taking this automaton with me for my own purposes." Meesei crossed her arms. "I am sure we can spare a single spider, but it may be difficult for you to take that one. The automatons we create only obey those with lycan blood. But, if you give some of your blood, I am sure we could..." Neesa cut Meesei off mid-sentence. "Is that so?" She said, looking down at the spider. "Bcharn chal, fahlbthar." Suddenly, the spider straightened up and let out an odd, bell-like tone, then returned to its resting position and stopped moving entirely. Meanwhile, a grin crept across Neesa's face when the machine seemed to respond to her. She pointed to herself as she spoke once more. "Bcharn chal, bthar." Again, the spider let out a tone, then walked up next to Neesa's feet once she beckoned it over to her. Her expression was as smug as they had come to expect from the vampire. "As I thought, you have little real understanding of the machines you children are playing with. You don't understand how the animonculory functions, so you [i]certainly[/i] don't understand how to remove the factory commands. The Dwemer would not have left them active."
