42 Years and 3 Days

A closer scan of the debris field around … has led to the discovery of an airtight capsule containing an atomic clock that measures time with unparalleled precision. It has a frequency uncertainty so low that it will be another 879 million years before it gains a single second and it is counting down to a date 42 years and 3 days away. The capsule holds no clues as to what this date signifies or who the owners are. But it seems as though someone out there has lost track of the time...

The command below will trigger the "42 Years and 3 Days" event in Stellaris:

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

• Keep an eye on it.
  • Tick-tock, tick-tock...
  • Engineering: +None to None
• IT'S A BOMB!! DESTROY IT!!
  • The capsule is full of innocent-looking wires, any one of which could be rigged to set off a weapon of mass destruction so potent that it would wipe out the entire galaxy! The crew will snip them all!!
  • Engineering: +None to None

Stellaris events fire in chains — one event leads to the next. Here is how 42 Years and 3 Days (distar.1045) connects.
