A Prisoner's Plea

A primordial wail traversed local lines of internal communication. The ethereal creature reacted violently to our rejection, lashing out against the meshed structure in a furious wave of spectral tendrils and sparks. After a few minutes, it settled. The exhausted entity reopened communications. "Very well. If you do not wish for me to join you, then at least give me the mercy of death." Gesturing with a tendril, it continued, "Deactivating this mechanism will energize this mesh, rendering my particles inert. A life imprisoned is no life at all."

The command below will trigger the "A Prisoner's Plea" event in Stellaris:

When this event fires, you can choose between these 3 options:

• Euthanize the ethereal creature.
  • Leads to event: A Merciful Release
• Preserve the captive for study.
  • Leads to event: Life in a Cage
• Kill it.

Stellaris events fire in chains — one event leads to the next. Here is how A Prisoner's Plea (astral_rift.2420) connects.
