Name of the quest: Excitement of the heart.


Description:


The spirit of the heart is exceptionally old, yet nothing more then a new born child, violently exposed to a vast galaxy. Since the Unfallen raised form Koyasil into space, the spirit experienced many impressions so different from it's original nature, so incomprehensible, that it began to change - to adapt. It started with a mere fibrillation, noticed only by the most sensitive Unfallen. But now it's throbbing. No one knows how to interpret this new and unfamiliar sensation, but we all agree on one thing:
We have to soothe the heart, one way or another - before it corrupts us!

Quest will be triggered if the following conditions are true:
- "SLC" is researched
- at least one other Non-Unfallen empire exists and isn't already death
- at least one other empire is available for diplomatic interactions


Choices:


1. "Faith" - The heart is eager to heal the galaxy (peacful) 

Description:  We have to trust the heart and encourage the contact to other species even more. It's our mission, to show the heart, that their is still hope, despite their aggressive and fast moving nature.

Objective: Peacefully convert one star system via "Pacific Conversion".

Outcome: We saw, that there are many other species, who strive for an harmonious co-existence, and so the spirit is convinced that there is no need to worry.

Reward: An enhanced version of the "Vine Beacon" module, which provides extra movement points.

2. "Doubt" - The heart is terrified by all the suffering and violence. (military)

Description: The Heart is utterly disturbed and afraid. We have to make sure, that it can rest without any further disturbance. We need to protect it.

Objective: Create a ship, with a certain amount of manpower.

Outcome: We are prepared to defend the heart, even in a way against our nature. Nothing will harm the heart.

Reward: A System Improvement which increases system manpower capacity per population. (very low)


 - only available, if "Hyper PACs" is researched - 


3. "Curiosity" 
- The heart wants to accumulate knowledge.  (scientific) 

Description: If we truly want to heal the galaxy, we need to understand it first! Therefore we want to learn from our new friends. Maybe they share some of there traditions and knowledge with us.

Objectiv: Unlock a new technology via diplomacy.

Outcome: The galaxy becomes more familiar and less terrifying with each friend we find - and there are many friend to find out there! It gives us hope, that we will achieve our goal to bring harmony to the galaxy.

Reward: An Empire Improvement that increases the effect of science agreements on empire science. (or gives a science bonus per peace/alliance, if it doesn't work with science agreements)

I like the idea of boosting science agreements through a quest. It should encourage the player to engage in diplomacy, which is the point of the latest update.

Your quest has an interesting premise, but the underlying conditions are too tricky: basically, you need an empire to be available for diplomacy; willing eo engage, able to engage throughout the quest (for instance if Cravers lose pacifists they'll revert to their murderous ways); and to stay ALIVE until the quest is complete. That's too difficult given how fast the galaxy moves and the wide array of woes that can befall en empire. Try basing it on some simpler conditions, for a start. :)
