    Ozurist
    Hail to the glory of the apparatus! Welcome to the hallowed walkways of the great Works! I am Ozurist, the chief engineer. I serve the great machines, the true rulers of Coruscant.
    Barsen'thor
    It's a pleasure to meet you, Ozurist.
    Ozurist
    It's always good to see another humble biological down here.
    Meteor
    You're the engineer. Don't the machines serve you?
    Ozurist
    No. I am small. I am weak and organic. My lifespan is but a blip on the machines' sensors. These machines are the vital organs of the planet. Biologicals are merely parasites, totally dependent on the infinite energy of the great ones. But discord emerges among the exalted masters. The stationaries grant sustenance to the biologicals, but the mobiles long to destroy our kind.
    Barsen'thor
    Engines and droids don't want anything. They can't think.
    Ozurist
    Biologicals ignore the reality. They will learn.
    Meteor
    What are "stationaries" and "mobiles"?
    Ozurist
    The stationaries are industrial behemoths. Creators. The mobiles - some call them "droids" - are workers. Understand this: One of the stationaries, Thermodraft, is in great pain. He is melting down, but the mobiles will not let me help him. When he dies, thousands of biologicals above will die with him. His energy will be unleashed.
    Meteor
    Are you talking about some sort of explosion? Radiation leak...?
    Ozurist
    Both. Thermodraft dies an angry death.
    Hero of Tython
    Will you do something?
    Ozurist
    I could fix Thermodraft if I could get past the mobiles, but they're too powerful and they would kill me. You are only a mere biological, but perhaps you could help save Thermodraft. You'd have to release the control valves on his steel skeleton. Do this, and matters could be set right.
    Meteor
    Let's call this, "Operation Machine Rescue."
    Ozurist
    That seems fitting. Thermodraft lives farther down into the Works. You'll see him. He is astounding to behold.

    Ozurist
    I have been awaiting your return, biological. I feared for the fate of my lord. I heard his cries grow silent. Tell me that means you saved him - tell me the great Thermodraft lives on.
    Hero of Tython
    We saved him.
    Ozurist
    Praise the Maker. I don't know what I would have done if Thermodraft died. The machines have given me many amazing gifts. Take this one. May it serve you as you have served Thermodraft.
    Barsen'thor
    We appreciate it.
    Hero of Tython
    I'm just glad the big guy's gonna be okay.
    Ozurist
    I am, too. Did I tell you that Thermodraft is one of the originals? He is a legend. I must return to my duties now. The great machines need me, and I am proud to serve. Glory to you, biological, and glory to the great machines!

in The Works, the heart of Coruscant's Industrial District. Ozurist believed that the "great machines" as he called them - the giant machines and computers that comprised Coruscant's infrastructure - were alive.

and the widespread devastation it caused, much of the planet's infrastructure was heavily damaged, and the programming of many of the droids in The Works became corrupted. These droids went rogue and attacked any living being that entered The Works. They became so much of a threat that the Republic was forced to send troops to combat the droids.
These droids, known to Ozurist and the "great machines" as "mobiles," believed that they should kill all living beings on Coruscant and rule the planet themselves. However, the "great machines" disagreed, as their programming was still intact. In 3643 BBY, several of the droids damaged the machine Ozurist called Thermodraft, intending to cause a massive explosion and a radiation leak that would kill an untold number of civilians.

a team of Republic operatives to save Thermodraft, so as to prevent the disaster. The operatives ventured into The Works, braving attacks from rogue droids and the savage, native humanoids known as Cthon, and was able to release the control valves on Thermodraft. That released the pent-up pressure, fixing the machine and preventing the explosion. The operativesl then returned to Ozurist and informed him of their success. Ozurist thanked them for their help and their service to the great ones.
