Once enough people had been positioned on the platform, Lyneas signaled to the engineers.

"Alright, that's all of us for now. Send us down!"

As the cogwheels started to spin, the platform was slowly lowered underground with chains, drowning the outdoor sound of the storm completely.

Anhjari felt it as if she was standing on the brink of a fathomless abyss. The elevator brought them deeper and deeper underground with nothing but a pitch black darkness in front of them and dusty walls of petrified ash and lava. Yet it was still the ideal spot to construct an underground facility for secret research and discoveries.

Lyneas lit a lantern, apparently having brought several which he handed around to the Investigators. "Do not lose them", he said. "At least not until I manage to locate the generator room."

"Generator?" Sibern raised an eyebrow.

"Technology hasn't made its impact on Skyrim yet, I see", shrugged the Dunmer. "To be fair, it's a really crude construction, but nonetheless working. It provides some light in several sections of the Nexus, and monitors several of the mechanical door locks with a clever lever-based system."

''Clever lever... ''Sibern couldn't help but to smile slightly at the combined words.

With a dampened metallic clang the elevator finally reached the bottom and Lyneas stepped off, shining his lantern around him as he peered into the dark. "Come along now, Investigators. Step off and let the elevator ascend to bring the rest of the team down here. We are going to need all the help we can get."
