Neural Symbiosis

Science Officer … has concluded … study on the neural symbionts found on …. These slug-shaped creatures consist mostly of a complex brain in a resistant protein casing. Despite their neurological advancement, their lack of external organs and limited motor capacities make any attempts at communication exceedingly difficult. After weeks of frustration, … experimented with introducing the creatures into an animal host. The reptilians these neural symbionts once built a … society with on … are too aggressive to facilitate experimentation, so a number of substitute species from the surface were tested instead. Regrettably, the symbionts refused to attach themselves to any of the offered animals. Science Officer … hypothesizes that the symbionts will only accept a certain kind of host - perhaps, importantly, a willing one. In order to get at the heart of this mystery, … has requested permission to transgress the role of detached observer and offer …self as a host for a neural slug. After all, if these symbionts were capable of turning wild animals into tool-using farmers, what might they do for us?

The command below will trigger the "Neural Symbiosis" event in Stellaris:

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

• An outrageous request. Absolutely not.
  • Society: +None to None
• Sometimes a hands-on approach is best. For science!
  • Society: +None to None

Stellaris events fire in chains — one event leads to the next. Here is how Neural Symbiosis (distar.171) connects.
