The Imitator

The pod discovered in … has been left to the mercy of the storm. Even though the data signature it uses looks to be one of ours, the pod is definitely alien. We answered the request for communications cautiously, but we were met with elation by the capsule's inhabitant. … explained … has been dragged along by the tempest for some time and is seeking rescue, … vessel's life support systems on the brink of failure. When asked to identify themselves, the stranger bizarrely claimed to be a member of our own crew. The lie is painfully obvious, if for no other reason than the fact that everyone on board our ship is accounted for.

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

• Enough games. Destroy the pod.
  • Alloys: +None to None
  • Unity: +None to None
• Bring the pod aboard.

Stellaris events fire in chains — one event leads to the next. Here is how The Imitator (cstorms.1550) connects.
