After you get the key and use the Console, don't leave yet. You have to stick around for it to complete, while killing Sunfury Technicians (non-elite, only about 2000 HP, one at a time). Just don't let them repair it or you won't get quest credit.
btw the overseer is in the door and to the left in the hallway.

What to do
StorylineNetherstorm, step 5 of 103
Rewards10g 50s, 4,100 XP
Description
We cannot shut down the manaforges by force as we'd risk causing an explosion that would shake Outland to the core. According to your transcription, there is an emergency shutdown that permanently disables the technology - a safety mechanism common in naaru constructs. To perform this procedure you will have to obtain a crystal that will allow you to communicate with the console. This access crystal is in the possession of an overseer called Theredis according to our information.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- B'naar Console Transcription
You try to transcribe the shapes as you see them flash across your eyes. The results are less than exact, but should serve as adequate evidence to prove or disprove the Aldor's suspicions.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Attack on Manaforge Coruu
Your success at Manaforge B'naar was quite noteworthy. I'm sure that Anchorite Karja will ask you for a repeat performance at Manaforge Coruu next. We've learned of a particularly important regiment of Sunfury arcanists and researchers being deployed there and I would like you to target them.
