Message in a Bottle
The "Message in a Bottle" event in Stellaris — flavor, choices, and how to trigger it with the event console command.
Message in a Bottle

By extrapolating the patterns of our surroundings in four spatial dimensions, we've succeeded in creating a useable map. This has revealed the existence of a 'central chamber' within the repeated patterns. While from the perspective of four dimensions our travel to the middle of the rift was a straight line, our own experience was a twisting trajectory through an incomprehensible labyrinth. Sharp turns and the occasional backtrack were required to traverse this maze, but we eventually reached our goal. This new space is vast; it is far too large to logically be contained within the chamber itself, and must be the result of even more folded dimensions. At its very center, we recovered a familiar device. Written in our own language, it was a set of instructions on how to proceed further.
