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

There is more danger here than we initially thought. Small chambers line the walls of this place. They are packed with a wide variety of living organisms. At the sight of us, they are rattling the bars that contain them and wailing in various unknown languages. From time to time, we witness the bulbous, floating creatures enter these cavities and subdue the prisoners with a bio-electric shock. Unfortunately, one of these floating orbs has taken interest in us and is approaching our Rift Sphere. Even with our engines at their maximum, it is slowly gaining on us. Its long tendrils trail in its wake, aglow with a heavy electric charge. Below us, a vast river of lava floods the obsidian landscape. The heat shielding we have prepared should allow us to survive for a short time under its surface.
