The Malek’s Call was the brainchild of Remus Challen, envisioned as a means to control the unpredictable Malek population on Meristine. Using scavenged parts, Challen engineered a device that could attract Maleks from up to 50 miles away, summoning them in an aggressive swarm to its location. This innovation not only drew the creatures in but also incorporated a secondary capability to induce hibernation within a one-mile radius, a feature noted for its inconsistency in performance.

Throughout its development, The Malek’s Call confronted various challenges and unexpected outcomes during its testing and deployment phases. The dual functionalities—mass attraction and hibernation—highlighted both the promise of the technology and the intricate balance required when interacting with the local fauna on Meristine. This device, with its unique design and volatile capabilities, remains a testament to Challen’s resourcefulness and his controversial ambition to harness control over the Malek population.
