Metabolization

Injecting the pale liquid into the exposed embryo has produced some interesting results. In spite of the quantum parasites, the previously lethargic specimen has become reinvigorated. In fact, we may have miscalculated the dose. In a very short period of time, a more developed creature began pushing at the walls of the egg - one covered in a lattice of overlapping armored plates and spines. However, the parasites were also stimulated. As they energetically teleport in and out of the embryo, the creature's tissue is being damaged. At this rate, it will likely perish. We speculate that injecting a small amount of astral thread may satisfy the quantum parasites and prevent further damage.

The command below will trigger the "Metabolization" event in Stellaris:

When this event fires, you can choose between these 2 options:

• Do not intervene.
  • Leads to event: Biological Instability
• Inject astral thread.
  • Leads to event: Biological Weapon

Stellaris events fire in chains — one event leads to the next. Here is how Metabolization (astral_rift.2020) connects.
