Rock Creatures

As the underground movement grew stronger, we watched from above as the brittle terrain erupted in a matrix of small holes. From each of these popped a small, lithoid lifeform. Their rough-hewn forms occupied the land from horizon to horizon, including our previous landing site. Despite their rugged exteriors, the creatures moved gracefully through the silted surface, taking care not to damage the fragile plantlife. Remarkably, onboard sensors still do not detect any signs of life. As one, the creatures stood and faced the horizon. They have not yet reacted to our presence. There is a sense of anticipation, but for what?

The command below will trigger the "Rock Creatures" event in Stellaris:

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

• Fly towards the distant horizon.
  • Leads to event: Darkest Dawn
• Wait alongside the creatures.
  • Leads to event: Darkest Before the Dawn

Stellaris events fire in chains — one event leads to the next. Here is how Rock Creatures (astral_rift.2510) connects.
