A Silent Congregation
The "A Silent Congregation" event in Stellaris — flavor, choices, and how to trigger it with the event console command.
A Silent Congregation

We have received accounts of unusual behavior exhibited by robotic units on …. At unpredictable intervals, a number of our planetside robots will cease all assigned functions and begin moving to a seemingly randomly-determined location in complete synchronicity, timed down to the millisecond. During these bizarre congregations, the affected robots do not appear to engage in any observable form of communication or data transfer. They just stand there. Completely still. Staring. Investigation has been unable to determine a reason behind this recent phenomenon. The duration for which the robots remain in this trance-like state before resuming normal functions varies, as does their time of triggering and destination. No logical correlation or causation has been found, and our population is understandably distressed by these eerie gatherings.
The command below will trigger the "A Silent Congregation" event in Stellaris:
