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

The movement of this dimensional machine is as precise as our most accurate clocks. Though we have not been able to determine its power source, with some exploring we have found shafts extending into a series of Astral Rifts. Whatever this place is, it has been made with a purpose in mind. This machine is reaching into many universes. The movement of its massive components are creating turbulence in the dense atmosphere, making it difficult to steady our instruments. With some rudimentary manipulation, we could slip one of the shafts loose and use it to jam a pair of the rotating cogs. This would quiet the agitation of the atmosphere, allowing for a more intimate study of this impressive machinery.
