Sorry for being a brainlet but I need something cleared up. ORT is some insanely powerful alien robot spider who travels from planet to planet to eat them. The ORT of Lostbelt 7 got it's heart (main engine) ripped out by Camazotz...

I understand the weird alien bacteria who secretly run the lostbelt repurposed the heart to be sun, but how did it become sentient? And why is Kukulkan on the side of the lostbelt and not it's main body?
