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

Dr. Xhaxxore and his team demonstrated the results from their research earlier this week. The serum, when applied to the skin, causes unprecedented cell regeneration, supposedly thanks to the miracle ingredient, "essence of …", named after its mysterious origin. Sadly, there have been complaints from a few individuals regarding the additional funding Xhaxxore received. Dr. Groik has even gone so far as to accuse Xhaxxore of being a fraud. Now she requests permission, as well as an additional budget of 500 credits, to launch a secret investigation. If Xhaxxore finds out he might take offense and leave.
