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

Mere minutes after we jump-started the substation on … using a portable phase generator, the facility erupted with piercing alarms. Seconds later, part of the ceiling and a section of wall adjoining the railroad collapsed, right where our excavation team was working. The fault has been traced to a corroded resistor coil, which we'd thought disconnected. This oversight caused several injuries and has sealed the fates of a dozen members of our dig team; they now follow in the Targe-bearer's tragic footsteps.
