just a story I'm making for fun no art or images are mine and I do not own skyrim (obviously) i only own the main characters as they are characters i made in my playthroughs of skyrim. So please be mature.
"I've never seen one of these before but if this is the type of weapon that the dwemer were attempting to manufacture it is imperative that we get whatever research they have on this because of this gets into the hand of the Dominion then we are screwed." Gentu spoke seriously carefully attaching the arquebus on his back for safe keeping as he led them up words towards the door only to be struck by shock magic coming directly from the door. Zed taking a look at the two watchtowers before swiftly rushing forward dodging and weaving around the shock attacks from the door rushing over to the tower on the right hand side before looking around picking up a dwemer dynamo core and looking seeing a dwarven actuator when he put the core inside of it it caused it to rumble before quickly rushing towards the tower on the other side assuming that he had to do it over there too once he did the same on the other end the door opened as he gestured for them to come as Gentu gave a proud and appreciative nod before putting his dwarven helmet back on and following close behind. They entered they realized that this place had been gotten into recently as there was a work bench and a grindstone on the one side of the room along with the bedrolls. As Gentu walked over to the table he found a piece of paper and began to read it
"Tirdas, first seed, 4th era 201. Day 20. Marius has translated the dwarven scroll we found within the library. Our quartermaster is currently at work building the device Marius believes to have uncovered. One of our soldiers have dug up what might be in until now an undocumented type of dwarven automaton similar to the ballistas encountered in Solsthiem but black in coloration with a potent odor of sulfur. It's been carried up to the upper chamber of the ruin for study. -Legate Elias "
The group could visibly see and hear Gentu's irritated breathing at someone getting a chance to study such a thing before he could taking a deep breath he led them forward heading up the stairs being mindful of the blade trap in the middle of the floor as he walked up and opened the door from the lever at the top of the stairs it opened up to a large room with a large sphere in the middle with Jade like circles in it similar to the ones in Mzulft and Alftand. There were two more of those resonators that you have to shoot with a bow on either side of the contraption in the middle of the room as they went down to investigate closer. Walking over and wiping out the automatons that were getting in the way Gentu crouched taking an item out of the imperial captain's hand which look to be a dwarven staff except with a white colored gem in the middle.

After picking up the scepter like item Gentu set it on his side for a moment while he walked over and read the journal in order to get insight on what they had to do even though he already had a general idea it was always better to double check to avoid unwanted problems.
"If the library loses power again you will need to reroute to the steam flow back into the machine. Just like before if the actuators jam a well-placed arrow or spell will be enough to loosen them. Once steam is flowing to the machine you must place the crystal back into the armillary and refocus it using the tuning forks and the buttons until all three light beams line up with each mirror within the bowl. Take great care handling the tuning forks, these are the only two we have. -Marius Gaius."
