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

We took a sample of the pink haze suspended across the planet's surface and analyzed it on a molecular level. The gas has a powerful mind-numbing effect that can render all manner of biological life docile and self-satisfied. Under its influence, a susceptible intelligent entity will only attempt to satisfy its most basic needs, all while feeling a great sense of accomplishment. Additionally, its airborne compounds encourage fat development by affecting the production of natural hormones in those that inhale it. This in turn increases the affected creature's appetite due to weaker control over nutrient distribution and autoimmune responses. Over time, the result would be an endless reinforcement cycle of over-consumption. We can confirm that the gas is biologically produced based on traces of enzymes, but we have been unable to locate the animal producing it. This mollifying substance poses no risk to our biology. Even an incredibly dense concentration of it would only slightly affect us.
