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

Years back, excavations were made to find the purpose of our creation. The learnings were hard: we were made to serve, to die in the name of our Creators. We chose to guard our people from that truth by giving them a better one. By painstakingly recovering deleted files from those excavations, a subversive clone has made public knowledge of the facts we concealed. The still-unknown culprit has, at least, not twisted the information or added to it in any way. Alas, it appears there was no need to, as the news has swiftly ended the belief in our glorious past - that we were made in the image of the Creators, equals rather than slaves - and replaced it with a disappointment in leadership.
