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

We arrived in a chamber of writhing green vines. Barbed thorns bite outward from nearly every bend and twist in their coils. We quickly became aware that these organisms have some sort of intent about them, or at least a defensive instinct. We have noted an abnormally high oxygen content in the atmosphere. We speculate that burning away these nuisances would prove to be an easy task. On the other hand, this would certainly destroy any samples we would otherwise be able to collect. We've observed a large quantity of hairy fruit hanging from the stalks that could provide a generous amount of insight into this flora.
