The Fluid

Our Rift Sphere has arrived submerged inside of a viscous, reddish fluid. All around us drift large disc-shaped blobs of more solid matter, but we have avoided collision with them thus far. A solid wall of a semi-gelatinous material surrounds us on all sides. We glide along easily. The rhythmic pulsing we sensed from within this rift is in sync with the harmonic frequency of the liquid around us. Every three seconds, we are pushed forward with a rush of pressure driving us deeper into the tubular system. Resisting the flow is quite difficult on our engines. This is a great opportunity for sample collection, but the appropriate apparatus may impede our navigation in these twisting tunnels.

The command below will trigger the "The Fluid" event in Stellaris:

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

• Deploy sample collection rig.
  • Leads to event: Snagged
• Proceed forward at ease.
  • Leads to event: The Chamber

Stellaris events fire in chains — one event leads to the next. Here is how The Fluid (astral_rift.1300) connects.
