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

Deeper excavation has provided more insight into the nature of the conflict. Scattered across the ruins are melted husks of machinery - advanced cybernetic constructs not unlike our own implants. Like us, these were not simple weapons; they were living tools of war, simultaneously mechanical and biological. It is too soon to draw conclusions, but it is disturbing to reflect on the fact that this is the very system in which we suddenly "awoke." Worse still are the few intact markings on the war machines - disturbing symbols that suggest their invader's true goal was not conquest but rather something far more systematic.
