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

We have completed a full orbit around the object. It is composed of two halves welded shut. The seal is heavily corroded in some locations - unexpected given the emptiness of the surrounding atmosphere. This indicates that the source of the corrosion must be coming from inside the object itself. The corrosion is so severe that in some places cracks have appeared, large enough for one of our drones to enter. Alternatively, we are carrying enough explosives to crack the seal.
The command below will trigger the "An Ancient Seal" event in Stellaris:
