Life Support Failure

We have excavated a tragedy. Logs from this intact stasis pod facility reveal that … spent billions of years adrift before being captured by its current star. That capture triggered a massive tidal surge. Though those forces forged the volcanic paradise we now call home, the initial shockwave critically ruptured the facility's power cells. Automated systems prioritized high-ranking individuals, shutting down lower-status pods and structural maintenance. Our … predict that only one individual can be rescued before activation compromises the leaking power supply and cascades into a full tunnel collapse. Had hierarchy not dictated priority, we might have saved many more.

The command below will trigger the "Life Support Failure" event in Stellaris:

When this event fires, you can choose between these 3 options:

• Scientific progress is paramount.
  • Leader gained: Scientist
• Prioritizing experts was a good choice.
  • Leader gained: Official
• Defuse the cells without activation.
  • Individuals are replaceable, but our empire needs space to grow.

Stellaris events fire in chains — one event leads to the next. Here is how Life Support Failure (infernals.2515) connects.
