"The solution to the scourge of Mankind would be far simpler than initially thought. It took only the fabrication of a myth of the Malak (Engineers) as Mankind's ancient gods. Several races and entities had made similar claims so as to more easily attain chattel, but the Malak (Engineers) bore considerable semblance to the Human form.The ruse worked with some, but many were devoted to an invisible Supreme Maker, while others held devotion to a goddess by the name of Onrai or Via. So, the Malak (Engineers) endeavoured to provide them a goddess, a Woman in the Dark for them to venerate! But whether from their experiments or their affront to the divine, the Malak (Engineers) lost their ability to reproduce. A small price to pay, some reasoned, for transcendence so that they might, in fact, become gods." – Supernatural Encounters the trial and transformation of arhul hextrophon
