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

It is a list of names. Trillions and trillions of names cover this obelisk. Arranged in a complicated mathematical pattern, they shift and change as we observe them. The facets of the obelisk are uniquely aligned, allowing each name to be precisely true to one of the alcoves along the wall. Touching any one name with a probe results in a corresponding chamber lighting up with dangerous amounts of energy and a pitiful wailing. Unfortunately, upon doing this we have attracted the attention of the floating creatures once more.
The command below will trigger the "Names" event in Stellaris:
