The alignment of all of these crystally prism things seems to indicate that some shooty sparkly bits once propelled energy around the chamber. This is just a working theory, mind you, but I think I can repair this thing and make it do something. I just need some more sparkly bits and spinny parts from the metal spiders crawling around the ruin.
That would require fighting the icky spiders, however. I hate spiders.
