As Lyneas carefully studied the maps in search for a potential place where the generator could be located, he was approached by captain Morvayn.

"I trust that you aren't spilling any secrets, Lyneas?" said the officer sternly. "There is a limit to how much they are allowed to know. This place still falls under the company's jurisdiction, no matter in what condition it's in, and as such secrecy is of the highest priority."

"Captain, please", said Lyneas and wrinkled his forehead. "They are Investigators. The well-being of other people are their primary concern. I think they could care less as to what the Mournhold Society discovered here."

The captain scoffed. "And you don't think that you should tell them?"

"About what?"

"Don't play dumb with me. You know as well as I that everything the company said was blatant bullshit and lies. They were fully aware of what their people discovered here. They even received a letter all those years ago, containing the information of their discovery."

"I wouldn't know", said Lyneas. "I never read it... I mean, I suspected that they did in fact find something of great value down in section Iya. As far as technological advances go, that is. But I don't know just what exactly it was that they found. Do you?"

The captain shook his head. "No. But I got my orders. And based on those orders, I can only assume that the contents of the letter couldn't have been a positive discovery." He motioned with his head to the soldiers. "Otherwise I wouldn't have brought the manpower..."

While the majority of the camp was asleep the silence that roamed underground suddenly came to an end when a massive roar could be heard; a muffled echo coming from somewhere deep beneath their feet. Though the sound didn't come from that of any living creature they knew of. In fact the sound didn't come from that of a creature at all. It sounded metallic, artificial. Accompanied by the deafening sound the entire cave started to shake and the walls started to tremble.

Stalagtites started to fall from the underground dome and came crashing down into the camp.

"What in the world?!" exclaimed captain Morvayn. "All men at the ready!" he said.

Sibern flew up from his bed as soon as he heard the sound and headed out of his camp just to bear witness to the chaos that ensued. As the cave shook violently, workers and soldiers ran back and forth seeking cover from the rocks falling down on them. The whole continued on for quite some time and from somewhere in the darkest recesses of Vvardenfell the sound of gigantic cogwheels scraping against each other could be heard, as engines and machinery sputtered and roared to life.

Something had awoken...
