Fountain of Youth is an event chain that can only happen to empires that own a Science Nexus megastructure. It can only happen once per game.
Fountain of Youth
The board of the Science Nexus are thrilled to announce that they have been given a unique opportunity to recruit widely acclaimed researcher Dr. Xhaxxore, a prominent name within the field of life-extension.
He and his staff were in the final stages of developing a serum that has shown good promise of prolonging life, when they ran out of funds. Hiring Dr. Xhaxxore however, means we will not have the resources to continue our current research into organic engineering, led by Dr. Groik. She is attempting to streamline engineering research with the use of an organic supercomputer.
Trigger conditions:

Mean time to happen:
|
 Recruit Dr. Xhaxxore for 1000 credits.
Prioritize Dr. Groik's research. | |
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 [alien species name]", named after its mysterious origin.

Neural Bank
Dr. Groik and her team have invented a neural bank - an organic computer that stores and harnesses the collective cognitive power of all brains that are uploaded to its drive, greatly improving our research speed. But there's one hitch - to function properly, the uploaded brains have to be extracted from the subjects' bodies and placed within a tank of conductive fluids. Since our bodies can not survive long without a brain, subjects will have to leave their material existence behind.

Essence of [alien species homeworld]
Dr. Groik's investigation into Xhaxxore's research has yielded some interesting results. Not only has Dr. Xhaxxore greatly exaggerated the effects of the serum, he has neglected to mention that they are only temporary. The side-effects, however, when over-used, can be quite permanent.

The Essence of Nothing
Xhaxxore is gone and he's taken all his research with him, leaving only his bewildered staff behind. They were as blindsided by his sudden disappearance as we were, and though all attest to the content of his character, painting a portrait of a charismatic and charitable genius who would do anything for his team, they could only offer anecdotal evidence of his achievements.

Fountain of Youth
Regrettably the mysterious Dr. Xhaxxore has slipped through our clutches, leaving his staff and test-subjects behind. The [slien species plural] have been awoken and thankfully have no recollection of what they've been through. As for Xhaxxore he is probably already on his way to some distant system, under a different name, plotting his next con. With a little luck, the next time he slips up we will be there to catch him.

Fountain of Gold
Marketed under the name "Ageless," the Essence of [alien species homeworld] has taken the galaxy by storm. Thanks to its charismatic inventor and a solid marketing campaign, the new "organic" miracle cream is being promoted everywhere. Stars, of the flesh and blood kind, in every system are "aging less with Ageless."
