Unable to Disable

Our attempts to disable the machine have only succeeded in antagonizing it. Where once its diodes emitted a calming blue light, they shifted to a malevolent red. We are not certain whether this machine has any weapon systems (certainly the advisor from our own dimension was not designed with any), but if it does we are in danger. "Ending this program will promote ignorance in all other living beings. Knowledge must always be made available. You are negligent in this regard, and will be disabled. This is necessary." The machine has started emitting a soft humming noise.

The command below will trigger the "Unable to Disable" event in Stellaris:

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

• Placate the machine.
  • Leads to event: Further 'Assistance'
• Discharge an electromagnetic pulse.
  • Leads to event: Electromagnetic Pulse

Stellaris events fire in chains — one event leads to the next. Here is how Unable to Disable (astral_rift.810) connects.
