The Blob
The "The Blob" event in Stellaris — flavor, choices, and how to trigger it with the event console command.
The Blob

Fighting through the current, we were able to squeeze into an off-shoot from the previous chamber. We emerged into a cavern of quivering crystals. The walls around us filtered fluid from every direction, causing a crystalline residue to be left behind. Suddenly, an amorphous blob the size of a starship was observed several hundred meters away. Attempting to observe it from a distance, we somehow managed to draw its attention. The Rift Sphere was quickly absorbed through the entity's membrane. Its interior is composed mostly of a corrosive enzyme; the Sphere's hull is being digested as we speak. Evacuation may be appropriate, but we theorize its enzymes can be neutralized with the right combination of gasses and fluid we have at our disposal.
