The Vortex

We have arrived inside of a violent whirlwind. Our viewing windows are completely obscured with rippling waves of an unknown gaseous fluid. We have been able to take a minor sample of the atmosphere, but each analysis comes back wildly different from the last. We are not sure if our instruments are in error, or if there is something inherently volatile about the material itself. The one consistent property we have found of the sample is that it contains an abnormally large amount of astral materials. Incidentally, we have noticed that small changes in temperature are affecting its contents greatly. We are placing it inside of an insulated container until we can study this phenomenon further.

The command below will trigger the "The Vortex" event in Stellaris:

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

• Proceed further.
  • Leads to event: Proceed Further
• Expose sample to flame.
  • Leads to event: Expose Sample to Flame

Stellaris events fire in chains — one event leads to the next. Here is how The Vortex (astral_rift.900) connects.
