(You gave it away with "we are Dwemer".  It sounds just like "we are Borg".  Many minds, joined as one.  Cyborg bodies, a mix of flesh and machine.  If there is one thing I understand about Star Trek--it's the Borg.)

"Exactly what I was going to say," said Megan. "To power their machines and perhaps even their full consciousness must take a lot of power.  There has got to be a power source somewhere down deep--deep and well protected.  Maybe they left a few in charge of it while they waited for the above world to evolve to the point where they wanted to take it over.  Or maybe they had some evolving to do of their own--or maybe there was some disaster which caused them to have to hibernate for a while.  Who knows?  So now they need outside help to get it going again.  They are using Hummel to do that.  Once that switch is flipped, it's going to make the opening of the Gates of Oblivion look like a child's fairy tale.  The Dragonborn's killing of Alduin will pale in comparison."
