I was thinking about this a long time ago, maybe to conclude a story serial.
It detects elemental energy, refusing to fight is not an option, at best, those without elemental powers would not be targets.
The answer I settled on before was either Helryx, Takanuva, both, or other ‘first’ beings created for the MU, including Artakha, Karzahni, and Tren Krom, but two of these were not an option.
The verdict was Helryx sacrificing her Toa power to destroy the machine; giving her a defined ‘Destiny Event’ There at the beginning; there at the end. Though due to her age, she would become a Turaga, and then promptly perish.
Or Velika would turn it off.
