The Horizon Signal: GRAVITY IS DESIRE

Science Officer … reports that the signal was unexpectedly easy to decipher... but their team has spent considerable time confirming that it's not a hoax. It is a repeating, half-coherent message in the … language - something like a poem. It repeats the phrases GRAVITY IS DESIRE and TIME IS SIGHT. It encodes co-ordinates near the black hole. And it ends with a dedication by name to the Science Officer - who adds dispassionately that they have confirmed that the signal has been radiating into interstellar space since before their birth. In fact, the signal may predate our civilization.

The command below will trigger the "The Horizon Signal: GRAVITY IS DESIRE" event in Stellaris:

When this event fires, you can choose between these 2 options:

• Fascinating! Send the vessel to those co-ordinates.
• This is a trick, or a trap. Log it and move on.
  • The techniques we developed to analyze the Signal will have some applications in Physics research.

Stellaris events fire in chains — one event leads to the next. Here is how The Horizon Signal: GRAVITY IS DESIRE (akx.9001) connects.
