Entry 018: Absence makes the heart grow cranky

I boosted over to one spot and began unearthing it. A few feet down, I was rewarded with the sight of a capsule which produced some navigation data. That wasn’t the most exciting find, per se. I’d have Suit analyze it later. The second site held a schematic for what seemed to be a suit upgrade I already had. The third, a plan for a power generator which might come in handy for base building. The fourth, more nav data. The fifth, some kind of species data - and when I tried to analyze it, the darn thing vanished without a trace! So much for that. The sixth one blew up in my face.

As I fell backward on the hillside, I found myself staring at a rather angry Sentinel, and a large one. It shot the Multitool out of my hand as I brought it to bear, which wouldn’t have done any good on the Earthmover tool, and for the first time in ages I was afraid of a damned Sentinel. What the hell had I unleashed!
