Alien Box Opened
The "Alien Box Opened" event in Stellaris — flavor, choices, and how to trigger it with the event console command.
Alien Box Opened

At long last, our scientists have penetrated the outer material of the alien box. The three small vials inside are indeed filled with different liquids - one red, one blue, and one green. The liquids are less alien than their container and our scientists have identified them as primed gene-modification mediums. For reasons beyond our understanding, the solutions are quickly deteriorating outside their alien container, but there should be enough time to synthesize and apply one of them to our species. It has been confirmed that its effects would be positive, but exactly how remains to be seen.
