Katara grinned, shot an excited look at Meyla and raced off to the automatons. Studying how these things worked could help with the becon repairs.

Meyla rolled her eyes, coming from an under-developed town, she didn't understand all of the fuss about technology. But she couldn't just abandon her friends, so she ran after them.

By the time Meyla had joined them Katara was excitedly trying to learn everything about the automatons in the shortest space of time possible. "How do they run? How do they work? Are they alive? What are they made of?" The questions didn't stop for long enough to get any answers.

Damien helped them to lower the automaton into the cart which start to creak worryingly. The man in charge was hurriedly waving his hands hoping that Katara would take a breath so he could explain. "They appear to run on some combination of steam and soul gems plus they have gears so they could be clockwork as well. We don't know how they work but they are certainly determined to kill us and we have no idea if they are actually alive per say but they are good at hunting intruders. They are made from the same metal the ancient Dwemer built everything from but that's all I can tell you" The automaton looked like an Earth Centurion from the Roman era to Damien. Instead of hands it had a sword and a war hammer; it didn't look to be built for anything other than warfare. Its body was comprised of armour several inches thick in a few places and it was covered with battle scars, some were fresh but some looked decades or even centuries old.

"What metal is it? Will I get into trouble if I take one apart...?" Katara asked, not entirely sure what to make of 'soul gems' and 'ancient Dwemer'.

"We just call it Dwarven steel or Dwemer steel to give it what we have translated to be it's original name. We are planning to disassemble it so you're more than welcome to help us but if we tell you not to touch something please take us seriously" The man replied. Damien picked up a cog and weighed it in his hands. "It's certainly heavier than what I would expect from steel; it has a strange golden bronze sheen to it, must be an ore or combination of ores that they had access to" He held the cog to Katara. "Does that feel more robust to you than steel?"

Katara took the cog and weighed it in her hands like Damien had done. "It's certainly heavier than I'd have anticipated, and it doesn't look like regular steel that I'm used to. That tends to have a silver look to it, whereas this..." She turned the cog over, examining it "...This looks more like bronze." She licked it and shuddered. "Except it's definitely not bronze."
