So I just received what is most likely, the most awesome artifact mechanism I will ever see, look at it here:

S, what should I do with it? I've decided to shove it in my librarian/expedition leader's room. But from there, I can't choose.

On a related note, what systems do you have in place to defend your fort? Loopholes perhaps? Traps only? Large militaries? What?

The Imageshack, it hurts! From what I saw, it looks pretty cool. Link it to some menacing native silver spikes, if possible.

And I never have to defend my fort. I usually abandon it before the first ambush or seige, or let the goblins have it.

Who's the elf? Seems to be an important figure to your dwarves.

Put it in the meeting area as a lever and hook it up to something important

The elf was the first kill of the fortress.
The caravan came in just as we were about to suffer a famine, we were also down to water. So I ordered my small militia to go and meet the elven caravan at the trade depot and "liberate" their goods, that elf was the first casualty by my militia commander.

In my last fort, I had 2 artifact gold mechanisms. Shoved them into the dining room.

Combo answer: I got an artifact lever in my fort, I stuck it in the dining hall and linked up 1100 glass spikes to it, with marble mechanisms decorated with gems. The lever is basically an enormous Rube Goldberg death machine, bling'd out. Dwarves like it more than the bronze colossus statue next to it.
