Singing Sands

The sandstorms on … have started emitting a deep droning sound. The frequency regularly shifts in pitch and modulates in recurring patterns. While this 'singing sand' phenomenon can be attributed to known properties of free particles, the regularity of these modulations cannot be explained by friction alone. We have also found a valley filled with dunes etched with strange symbols. These glyphs appear fleetingly in raised formations before dispersing almost instantaneously. What is animating the sand is unclear, but the consistent nature of the patterns suggest purpose or intent behind its behavior.

The command below will trigger the "Singing Sands" event in Stellaris:

When this event fires, you can choose between the following option:

• Study the patterns.
  • Society: +None to None

Stellaris events fire in chains — one event leads to the next. Here is how Singing Sands (strange_worlds.80) connects.
