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

As a security precaution, we released a short-range electromagnetic pulse in the vicinity of the patrolling drones. Deactivating immediately, they plummeted out of the sky, crashing onto the barren ground below. Powerful chemical solutions leaked out of their wreckage, and a distress signal began to broadcast. If we believe we are safe, we can follow the distress signal toward its intended destination.
