"Well, if that is [i]your[/i] choice, then that is perfectly fine. I'm sure your children will be keeping in touch, if you ever change your mind." Meesei replied, glancing to Fendros and Ahnasha. 

As requested, Meesei started inside to show Rossarm to his quarters. All of the rooms on the hall that her pack used were taken, but they had been able to re-purpose another room on the ground floor of the same tower to be private quarters for him. There had not been a stone bed built into the room, but it had been easy enough to have a comfortable bed made for him, as well as all of the furniture needed for a functional living space. It was situated close to one of the dining chambers, so it was actually reasonably conveniently located.

Hal-Neesa gestured to one of the blue-green crystal-like objects at the center of the mechanism, which appeared like a container of sorts. "This particular mechanism, what you ignoramuses have come to call an Oculory, looks like it was built to hold an Elder Scroll. Though, that is long gone. I never saw one being used in such a way, so I can only make some educated guesses as to why. Tonal manipulation is about the only thing that is as fundamental as an Elder Scroll, so it might have influenced the light tones...maybe to track the echoes of power in the temporal plane as well.."

The vampire's voice trailed off as she stared at the mechanism for a few seconds, then focused back on Sabine. "Well that's not important, regardless. I don't need an Elder Scroll for this. It's just a matter of making a few repairs, changing out a few parts, and I can convert the...Oculory, back to its more common function. You see, the device collects starlight. That much, your people were probably able to figure out, unless even [i]I[/i] give them too much credit. The Dwemer could use it to track the constellations, the moons, draw from sources of power, and observe anything out there floating in the Void. Including, most importantly, planes of Oblivion. If it works, and with the right...tuning, it could be used to create a projection of Vile's realm, in it's current state. And without Vile knowing about it. Then, you people can have your 'advanced scouting', and stop pestering me about it."
