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

Our scientists have returned from the Xvan labs unscathed with footage collected from the facility's security cameras. It shows lab scientists bound and gagged as guerilla soldiers pry open the weapon strongbox. But to their dismay, the box is empty. Only minutes later the rebels can be seen writhing on the floor in intense agony, dark patches swelling across their bodies, then their skin rips and a gray unidentifiable matter spills out. The matter continues to expand, swirling hypnotically around them, until one of the scientists activates the emergency system. Sprinklers douse the room in liquid and an electrical surge passes through it executing all living things. Here the footage ends. Our crew can confirm that the strong box was indeed empty.
