Rock Brain

A scan of the particularly massive asteroid [From.GetName] yields fascinating results. The rock's core is shot through with a network of conductive crystals carrying a weak electric charge. The crew on the [Root.GetName] recognize this matrix as a primitive neural lattice and believe the celestial body to be thinking in some capacity, if not fully sapient. They seek permission to excavate the core and transport it to the nearest orbital station for closer study.

Trigger conditions: None	Is triggered only by: Anomaly project

Immediate effects: Clear current orbital tile deposits
Make it so. Trigger country event "Rock Migraine" in 5 days. Make do with what you can study from the surface. Replaces current orbital tile deposit with 2 Society Research and 2 Physics Research. Adds the Rock Brain modifier to [From.GetName]: physics +8

Rock Migraine

The core of [From.From.GetName], once coaxed from beneath the crust of the asteroid, does not respond well to the vacuum of space. The [Root.GetName]'s instruments read a sudden energy spike moments before the rocky lump gently, but decisively, fractures.
Large chunks of the conductive mineral are salvaged, but whatever spectral charge animated them is now gone.

Reward: Rock Brain Linguistics modifier added, giving the following effects: Codebreaking: +1 (Permanent Empire Modifier).

Gossiping Planets

Irregular electromagnetic bursts from [From.GetName] and its neighboring planets intrigue the crew of the [Root.GetName]. Further study reveals that the bursts are coded communications, though the contents are fairly banal. The electromagnetic activity suddenly ceases, as if in response to the eavesdropping, but not before the [Root.GetName] has cataloged the self-reported statuses of [From.GetName] and every other planet in the system.

Grasping Vines

The dense grasses of [From.GetName] respond to the [Root.GetName]'s exploratory probes by disassembling them in a spectacularly violent manner. As sinewy vines reach for the ship far above, the relative lack of animal life on the planet starts making sense.
A special project has been issued for further study of the planet's plant life.

Grassy Militia

Careful examination reveals that the violent behavior of the vines and grasses of [From.From.GetName] is no dumb self-defense reflex.
The plants have a complex internal social order. Depending on geographical region, different phyla assume a number of different tasks, the most important one seemingly being staving off native herbivores and would-be invaders from the skies."

A golden disc strikes the forward viewport of the [Root.GetName] as it is surveying the weak gravitational field of [From.GetName]. The object is recovered, and cursory analysis indicates that the minuscule grooves on the disc's surface might be encoded audio and video data, authored by some alien civilization.

Voices From the Past

In an abandoned fortress on the surface of [From.GetName], evidently the stronghold of some long-dead race of primitives, a golden disc rests on a pedestal beneath a thick covering of spore-dust.
First designated to be stowed away as an alien artifact of minor, possibly xeno-religious significance, an archival computer soon identifies it as the golden phonograph record originally launched with the Voyager probe.

Cell Cells

[From.GetName] is partially hollow. Within its interior spaces sprawls a dense honeycomb structure crafted of some unknown alloy, housing containers of alien genetic material. By all appearances this is an archive of life, the genetic record of some earlier civilization come and gone. Most of the DNA is hopelessly degraded, but there is still much to learn here.

Eddic, Monolithic

[From.GetName] is uninhabited and indeed uninhabitable, but not unvisited. Its surface is littered with tall cenotaphs carved from some mineral not native to the planet; evidently placed here by some artistically-inclined spacefaring race. The monoliths' flowing lines deftly chart a history so fantastical it must surely be fictional.

Abandoned Amusement Park

The structures on [From.GetName] are not as old as we first believed. It seems to be a playground or amusement park of some sort. Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] notes that many of the contraptions are highly complex creations that we can learn much from and that, to the builders' alien eyes, this might have been a cutting-edge sensor array, or even a gigantic art installation.
Regardless, to us [Root.Owner.GetSpeciesNamePlural], it looks mostly like a place where you would take your young and let them amuse themselves.

Familiar Shrine

Most of the asteroid has been laser-chiseled, with great precision, into the likeness of a small [Root.Owner.GetSpeciesName] temple, or large shrine.
A shrine to the Untold, the great destroyer-deity of old [Root.Owner.GetSpeciesAdj] faiths.
The temple has been tumbling through the quiet of space for far longer than we have been capable of space-flight, which is... disturbing, at best.
Terrifying at worst.
Naturally, Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] urges us to search for more stellar objects that match the characteristics of this space-temple, and has uploaded a list of likely candidates in nearby systems to the Situation Log.

Old Gods: Shrine to the Benefactress

Deciphering the pictograms in the Benefactress' shrine was a much smoother process than anticipated. All linguists involved describe the language quickly "connecting" or "clicking" in their minds, despite its age and complexity.
However, the writings are unlikely to make much sense until they are combined with the other writs associated with the rest of the quadrumvirate godhead.

Old Gods: Shrine to the Percipient

Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] has reported back with the [Root.GetName]'s findings at the Percipient's shrine. They recognized early on that a text in some logographic script is inlaid in the walls, heavily distorted by the layers of translucent lacquer.
Initial attempts at unscrambling the text, relying on the raw processing power of the [Root.GetName]'s computers to reconstruct the text from plain images, proved fruitless as it was simply too distorted to place in any known lingual family tree. Next, the crew of the [Root.GetName] attempted bombarding the lacquer with light of varying wavelengths and intensity, but no beneficial reactions were observed. [Root.GetLeaderName] apparently considered physically separating the lacquer from the inlaid text, but realized that the strange glyphs would doubtlessly have been made misshapen to begin with, only to assume their proper shape when viewed correctly through the lens of the lacquer.
Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] was about to call the mission a failure when, looking up as they irritably paced along the edges of the circular space, they realized that discrete lines of cohesive text were momentarily forming before their eyes, melting away only to be replaced by new lines.
Not long after they had the ceiling, walls and floor imaged in a spiral pattern. Texts from other shrines should help us piece it all together.

Old Gods: Revelation

The complete doctrine of the gods - for that is what the recovered texts have to be regarded as, dwarfing the fairy-tale scraps upon which the old [Root.GetSpeciesName] religions were founded - is as shockingly revelatory as it is revolutionary.
With only a little bit of creative interpretation, it is clear that the people of [Root.Capital.GetName] were meant for great things, guided by the strong hand of a religious leader.
Our path is one to godhood, but our past is littered with prophecies unfulfilled and sin born of ignorance. Redemption is ephemeral.

What Music They Make

The animals of [From.GetName], predator and prey alike, gather together as night falls and...
Sing.
The howls, clicks, chirps, roars and hisses are discordant to say the least, but there is a recognizable melody in there. And not a bad one either, to hear the crew of the [Root.GetName] tell it.
The non-sentient choir is obviously the work of some alien entity, and we may never know their purpose in altering the fauna of [From.GetName] in this way.
We may, however, be able to at least start to figure out how they did it.

Illicit Matter

The [Root.GetName] finds a disturbing tangle of technology hidden in a deep crater on the asteroid's surface.
Evidently someone has, with rather simple means, managed to stabilize a one-way wormhole, and Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] quickly asserts that the asteroid is the exit point. The other end opens up somewhere in uncharted space some light-years away from a black hole, and small quantities of dark matter are leaking - being siphoned - through the wormhole.
Whoever set this up seems to have abandoned the operation.

Purple Rain

Images capturing [From.GetName]'s mesmerizing purple-colored rain, taken by the [Root.GetName]'s surface exploration probes, somehow find their way into the hands of the cultural elite on [Root.Owner.Capital.GetName].
While the discovery is of no scientific value, the evocative imagery of the colorful precipitation sparks a minor renaissance in the [Root.Owner.GetSpeciesName] art world, the positive effects of which shall be felt for years to come.

The Exile

The readings originate from a small research outpost - which the [Empire Name] has no records of establishing or indeed authorizing - on the surface of [Planet Name]. It is staffed by one [Species Name] scientist, a fairly talented and industrious one if their research on [Planet Name] is anything to go by. There is a problem with regards to their identity however; we have been unable to match them against official state records, and they refuse to identify themselves save for stating that they are "an exile."
They have expressed an interest in returning to [Capitol name] and serving the [Empire Name] directly, on the condition that the [Scientist Name] immediately depart [Planet Name] and no [Empire Adjective] ships ever return there.

Cold and Empty

There is nothing unusual about the research outpost itself. It is little but a temporary shelter erected against the savage elements, allowing surface-level planetary study for a limited time before it wears down and conditions become untenable.
The outpost on [Planet Name] is nearing the end of its lifespan, but the planet's intense chill has yet to critically degrade the impermanent structure. The equipment - functional, cheap, intended to be abandoned - is well-used, and the local databanks are filled with detailed but ultimately mundane accounts of the planet as well as the simple experiments that were carried out in its harsh environment.
Curiously, no closer examination seems to have been made of the mineral outcropping the outpost's foundations rest on; scans by the [Science Ship Name] indicate that the geological formation, a mountain mostly buried under ice, may be partially hollow. More alarmingly, Science Officer [Scientist Commanding Science Ship's Name] reports that the sole inhabitant of the outpost, the mysterious "exile," has gone missing and is nowhere to be found.

Trigger conditions: None	Is triggered only by: event "The Exile"
Puzzling.

Down Below

There is something unusual about the research outpost on [Planet Name]. The structure itself is commonplace enough - a temporary shelter erected against the harsh elements, allowing surface-level planetary study for a limited time before it wears down and conditions become untenable - but it is situated on top of a rocky formation poking through the sea of ice that covers the planet.
The crew of the [Science Ship] found an intricate system of caves and narrow passages leading into this mountain, accessible from inside the research outpost.
In one of the larger cavern-halls, they found the desiccated remains of the outpost's original staff. This contingent of [Empire Adjective] researchers had originally been dispatched elsewhere, but evidently diverted to this uninhabited and hostile planet to set up shop.
Of course, the self-proclaimed "exile" is now nowhere to be found. The [Science Ship] has launched one of its escape pods, transporting the bodies of the deceased back to [Capitol Name].

Unfortunate.

Salty

Science ship [Root.GetName] came up short with regards to its original mission of investigating possible activity on the frozen surface of [From.GetName] - there is seemingly nothing of note but ice and rock.
However, Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName], a self-proclaimed gourmet chef and history buff, claims to have made an important discovery. A chemical compound, found in the surface ice layers in several regions of [From.From.GetName], is allegedly, supposedly, closely related to [Root.Owner.GetSpeciesAdj] Stellar Salt, an ingredient integral to many traditional [Root.Owner.GetSpeciesAdj] dishes and thought extinct on [Root.Owner.Capital.GetName]. It has long been speculated that [Root.Owner.GetSpeciesAdj] Stellar Salt was never native to our homeworld, but was brought to the surface by some meteorite impacts in the distant past. The Science Officer's discovery on [From.GetName] lends some credence to this theory, though [Root.GetLeaderName] leans heavily on properties described in ancient cookbooks pre-dating modern chemistry to prove the saline connection.
Whether the salt, analyzed and synthesized, actually tastes like the [Root.Owner.GetSpeciesAdj] Stellar Salt of old is ultimately of little consequence. Just the idea of traditional foods now possessing more historically accurate flavor profiles is bound to stimulate both the [Root.Owner.GetSpeciesAdj] economy and palate.

Moon Projection

Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] reports that they do not trust the sensor readings they've gathered aboard the [Root.GetName], not one bit of it. They are especially suspicious of [From.From.GetName]'s moon, and have outlined a Special Project for further investigation.

Moon Projected

There is a device on the moon, and it is mystifying. At its core lies a ternary computer, seemingly tasked with endlessly calculating new permutations based on a core set of planetary readings. These values are then passed to a powerful comm array, which modulates the data before blasting it at the surface of its parent planet. The raw signal appears nonsensical at a casual glance, but the careful modulation ensures that it becomes nearly indistinguishable from legitimate sensor readings once the signal is reflected from the parent planet's surface and filtered through its atmosphere.
The purpose of this set-up is difficult to deduce, but provides a good opportunity to study alien engineering techniques.

Misty Shores

Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] reports that large, flexible geometric grids made up of some plastic polymer - clearly artificial in nature - have been placed in the seas of [From.From.GetName].
Visible from orbit, they seem to serve no purpose other than, possibly, an aesthetic one.

Geothermal

The measured pounding observed from orbit is the motion of immense and ancient geothermal extractors, breathing their last. Built and then abandoned at some point in the distant past, the vast batteries of disintegrating machinery have been pumping up superheated fluids from the planet's core ever since.
Their storage capacitors are all broken or leaking, but some energy can still be siphoned from them.

Completely Leveled

A thorough geological survey of [From.From.GetName] by the [Root.GetName] reveals nothing of interest.
In fact, it is extraordinarily uninteresting - its only defining feature is its lack of defining features. There are depressions and elevations, yes, but on the whole the surface of [From.From.GetName] can be regarded as unnaturally flat. Likewise, the native flora and fauna are strikingly docile and unworthy of attention.

Dimensional Pocket

The [Root.GetName] never made it all the way to [From.From.From.GetName] to study the anomalies surrounding it. The ship, along with Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] and crew, blinked out of existence as it was navigating the debris field.
And then reappeared minutes later.
[Root.GetLeaderName] reports that they found themselves, briefly, in some extra-dimensional space. External viewports revealed that they were surrounded by countless ships of alien design, suspended in a seemingly endless void. Before the crew could get their bearings, the vision abruptly faded and they found themselves back in regular space.
However, roughly half of the crew are missing - Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] speculates that they may have been selectively trapped, by some unknowable mechanism, in that strange space.

Dimensional Drift

The missing members of the [Root.GetName]'s crew, thought lost to the dimensional rift, have reappeared.
They hailed us from aboard an unknown vessel, not entirely dissimilar to our own science ships, idling close to where the [Root.GetName] originally experienced the dimensional disturbance. They claim to remember nothing of their time outside our dimension, aside from a vague awareness of having been away for some time.
They wish for nothing but to return to service under Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName], and intend to surrender their ship to [Root.Owner.GetSpeciesAdj] authorities.

Immense, ragged planes of shadow drift across [From.GetName]'s face.
They are cast not by clouds but by sheets of organic material drifting through the upper layers of the atmosphere, hinged - or rather jointed - to allow for a small degree of articulation.

What is of more interest to the [Root.Owner.GetName] is that we may be able to strategically halt the planet's ceaseless, chaotic self-transformation. In short, a near-instant terraforming of the planet into something slightly - if not entirely - more habitable, is theoretically possible.
[Root.GetLeaderName] estimates that an additional 200 Energy Credits will be needed to power a thorough mapping of planetary activity and determine the validity of what the Science Officer has termed "a surgical terraforming strike." Of course, we can always choose to terraform it using existing technologies at a later date.

Tactical Terraforming

Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] reports that [From.From.GetName] can indeed be terraformed! A narrow window of opportunity is expected to open shortly, as the planet enters a particularly unstable phase of its cycle lasting a couple of months. [Root.GetLeaderName] believes that miniaturized explosive charges delivered to the planet's crust and strategic irradiation of the atmosphere during this time will halt [From.From.GetName]'s tumultuous changes and stabilize it in a form somewhat more suitable for sustaining life.
A Special Project has been issued, but we do not have much time.

Lightshow

The below description is one of several available for this event.

Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] reports that the luminous waves coursing through the ice that blankets [From.GetName] is of alien origin.
Some ancient battle has deposited scattered wreckage of an alien fighter on the frozen planet, and only the exposed core of its main weapons remains intact. It seems this alien race used lasers fairly similar to the ones currently in use by [Root.Owner.GetSpeciesAdj] fleets, and the fizzling innards periodically discharge low-powered lasers into the ice of [From.GetName]. The planet's harsh climate prevent the lasers from actually melting the ice, allowing the chilly matrix to act as a brilliant prism.

A Whiff of Something

The [Root.GetName] has recovered an elongated metal box from the surface of [From.GetName]. Clusters of small perforations on five sides lead Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] to believe it is not a container, but some sort of aerosol dispersal device. Initial tests seem to confirm their suspicions as trace aromatics still emanate from the object.
A Special Project has been issued to confirm whether this might be an information-carrying device constructed by some alien race communicating primarily through the secretion and reception of atmosphere-borne chemical compounds; smells.

Malodorous. hidden_effect = owner = country_event = id = story.5 days = 30 enable_special_project = name = "OLFACTORY_PROJECT"

A Whiff of Something

The box is indeed a document, of a sort. Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] admits that they had been hoping for a historical record or some other kind of codex significant to whatever culture left it behind, but they were disappointed.
The true nature of the aromatic box seems to be a collection of fairly short narratives which, going by the rapid changes in odor towards the end of each sequence, are intended to surprise or be interpreted as comedic. The techniques used to store and reproduce specific smells is of some interest, but the tales it tells are not.
The crew of the [Root.GetName] are left with the uncomfortable feeling that they have unwittingly become intimately familiar with what certain gaseous byproducts of alien digestion smell like. However, [Root.GetLeaderName] is unwilling to speculate as to why the box was dumped on this frozen hellscape of a planet.

Apocalypse Past

[From.GetName] was once home to a race of reasonably intelligent beings who destroyed themselves when they were seemingly only decades away from space flight. The planet has recovered from what must have been immense acts of senseless destruction, but it still bears very visible scars.
One of the few remaining ruins on the surface holds a reasonably well-preserved stone monolith inscribed with a message, quickly decoded by [Root.GetLeaderName]. It is a warning, from the last of the extinct species to whoever they believed would arise after their passing. It was the development of an "ultimate weapon" that was their downfall; some quirk in the psychology of this species evidently rendered deterrence through mutually assured destruction impossible.
Survivors, before dying of unknown causes soon after, hid this weaponry deep underground as destroying them was difficult, and left this message dissuade us from going looking for them.

Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] remarks that the previous inhabitants of this place were right to hide these weapons, recovered from a cave beneath the ruins, away.

Mineral Factorial

The [Root.GetName] has found an alien structure on [From.GetName]. It seems to be the only one of its kind on the planet - Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] speculates that all other xenoarchitectural traces may have been moved off-world, with this sole building left behind for reasons unknown.

Alien Drag Racing

The crater on [From.GetName] exhibits long, irregular marks imprinted into the relatively soft upper layers of the asteroid. Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] has recovered some interesting unexpected wreckage from the edges of the depression; wheeled vehicles, seemingly personal transports rather than research craft.

While the crater in question was most likely the result of a regular meteorite impact, the complex patterns in the resulting depression originated at a later time.

What the [Root.GetName] found on [From.GetName] were not buildings, but surprisingly regular mineral outcroppings. Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] asserts that these angular blocks of rock are the product of interactions between tectonic plates, their shapes the result of the unusual tectonophysics inherent in the planet's crust.
The perfect angularity of these thrust faults implies a possibility of aliens tampering with [From.GetName]'s crust at some point in the past.

Up is Down

As the [Root.GetName] passed through the asteroid belt on its way to [From.GetName], Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] reported that the ship experienced a number of sudden gravitational shifts. Ever curious, [Root.GetLeaderName] dispatched a number of probes to scan the debris field to discern the cause.
It turns out that the culprit is a number of gravity generators of old, alien make. Sputtering on dying energy sources and with their polarities inverted, they occasionally spew reverse-gravity into the void, though not with enough force to cause any serious harm. Not anymore.
Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] theorizes that the generators once provided artificial gravity for a large asteroid in the belt, but some malfunction eventually tore the rock apart.
