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

Our technicians managed to lift the lockdown from the L-Gate near …, but as soon as a permanent link was established to the L-Cluster, a massive incoming subspace surge was detected! We were able to restrict this potential invasion force from using our gate, while still retaining access for ourselves. Unfortunately, the incoming surge was diverted to the other L-Gates in the galaxy. Strange vessels consisting of nanites are pouring through these now fully active gates, attacking everything in sight! All attempts to communicate with these machines have failed. In the wake of their passage through the L-Gates, we have detected a repeating subspace transmission emanating from the L-Cluster.
