Alright, get some to desert or defect.

That would be nice, but I would really prefer him to join me, since we would hope that the Empire would not feel the need to attack us, since we have not attacked them at all and, unlike the Stormcloaks, have no quarrel with them. I am also strongish, and I know that I'm fairly rich, after selling Skooma and Geodes and starting trades. Also, once he pledges allegiance to the Empire, he has no guarantee he will be listened to and it will be a lot easier for the Emperor to force him to step down once more and replace him with a puppet again.

Good.

Can we use what we find in the constructs?

Are there no tests we can do, spells to cast, comparisons to make, to find out what it is?

Oh, uh, cool. Um, just, leave that alone. Send the men somewhere else. Get the Brotherhood, Thieves Guild or Volikhar Clan to send bottled water to Volikhar Castle and to the Thieves Guild for Redwater Skooma. They will be paid by the Thieves Guild and the Volikhar Clan for their work and then profits will be made, etc. I will ensure the safety of those working there as best I can, by stopping investigations or visits. Keep it hidden - make sure that by all appearances it is abandonded, so as not to cause suspiscion. If needs be, create a second, hidden, exit elsewhere and block off the one in the abandonded shack.

Yeah, say it.
