Through the Looking Glass
The "Through the Looking Glass" event in Stellaris — flavor, choices, and how to trigger it with the event console command.
Through the Looking Glass

While we have yet to actually pierce the veil, we can feel it getting thinner and thinner under the pressure of our combined minds. Yet, on the other side, our efforts to enter the Shroud have not gone unnoticed. Something watches us. Its presence radiates phenomenal power and unfathomable purpose. It seeps through the cracks of our psyche. It barely notices us. It watches us like we would a drop of condensation on a porthole. It might let us in, if only we could reach its inscrutable mind.
The command below will trigger the "Through the Looking Glass" event in Stellaris:
