Bunker-Bot

We have traced the unusual electromagnetic radiation emanating from … to a secret subterranean bunker hiding a mega-computer the size of a battleship. Our … suspect that it may have been there for several thousand years, hard at work solving a single very complex problem, the nature of which still eludes us. When attempting to interact with the computer they discovered that the facility, which had appeared both abandoned and unguarded, was in fact operated by a security AI, the highest purpose of which seems to be frying its visitors with extreme prejudice. When the AI was finally defeated, it broadcasted a message to an unknown recipient.

The command below will trigger the "Bunker-Bot" event in Stellaris:

When this event fires, you can choose between these 3 options:

• Scrap the mega-computer for parts!
  • A computer that has failed to solve a single problem in a thousand years will serve us better as a new ship hull...
  • +100 Alloys
  • +50 Rare Crystals
  • +50 Volatile Motes
• Use it to boost our own research...
  • This requires that we keep the AI maintaining the facility offline and will cause the computer to break down within a foreseeable future.
  • Gain modifier: Bunker-Bot
• Let it continue its mysterious calculations...
  • We had better not disturb it. Whatever problem the computer is trying to solve, it seems important...
  • Unity: +None to None

Stellaris events fire in chains — one event leads to the next. Here is how Bunker-Bot (distar.1040) connects.
