I believe the Sentinel functions to work as follows: Each sentinel has 1 of 3 states and within this state it picks a random Status, Function, and Current Subroutine, belonging to that state. It finally picks an additional random Directive, which is independant of state. I have created a table below to show the possibilities. Hope it makes sense 😉 Spoiler ahead! > **Sentinel Functions - Spoiler!** > > | State | Status | Function | Current Subroutine | Directive | > | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | > | 1️⃣ | **_Investigate_** | **_Support_** | **_Investigate_** | **_Directive_** | > | | Investigating… | Support Unit | [Lifeform Search] | Civilisation Destruction | > | | Searching… | Rapid Response | [Anomaly Detection] | Suppress Sentience | > | | Inspecting… | Active Suppression | [Event Processing] | Locate Beauty | > | | Scanning… | Anomaly Destruction | [Trend Analysis] | Portal Deletion | > | | Auditing… | Combat Support | [Boundary Test] | Lifeform Immobilisation | > | | Probing… | Breach Repair | [Waveform Analysis] | Civilisation Delay | > | | Reviewing… | Anomaly Repair | [Preparing Alarm] | Sow Division | > | | Analysing… | De-escalation | [Depth Testing] | Harvest Data | > | | Studying… | Counter Attack | [Temporal Analysis] | Observe All | > | | Anomaly Detected… | Advanced Combat | [Boundary Reinforcement] | Replicate Sentinels | > | | Detecting Breach… | Retaliation | [Safeguard Deployment] | Sanitisation | > | | Oversight Initiated… | Rapid Suppression | [Ocular Testing] | Spread Decay | > | | Observing… | Retribution | [Low Frequency Ping] | Reinforce Boundaries | > | | Irregularity Detected… | Anomaly Neutralisation | [Probability Sort] | Traveller Detection | > | | Analysis Required… | Sentience Destruction | [Data Siphon] | Sow Discord | > | | Sensors Deployed… | | | Prevent Sentience | > | > * * * > | > * * * > | > * * * > | > * * * > | Predator Suppression | > | 2️⃣ | **_Patrol_** | **_Patrol_** | **_Patrol_** | Herbivore Protection | > | | Patrolling… | Ambient Protection | [Patrol] | Mineral Protection | > | | Uploading Report… | Active Patrol | [Idle] | Botanical Protection | > | | Cruising… | Anomaly Suppression | [Route Optimisation] | Specimen Collection | > | | Watchful… | Intelligence Suppression | [Path Optimisation] | Specimen Preservation | > | | Registering Activity… | Field Scout | [Kinetic Recovery] | Data Harvest | > | | Sensors Ready… | Anomaly Hunt | [Self-Analysis] | Surveillance | > | | Patrolling… | Area Suppression | [Background Diagnostics] | Lifeform Supervision | > | | Patrolling… | Boundary Protection | [Fuel Cell Cleaning] | Sentience Degradation | > | | Patrolling… | Boundary Enforcement | [Defragmenting] | Delta Wave Detection | > | | Low Power Mode | Breach Detection | [Long-Distance Scanner] | Memory Protection | > | | Recharging | Anomaly Ward | [Short-Range Scanner] | Encryption Block | > | | Reconnecting… | Passive Enforcement | [Portal Detection] | Load Balancing | > | | Processing… | Oversight Patrol | [Patrol Iteration] | Null Checker | > | | Optimising… | Ambient Protection | [Distributed Analysis] | Innocence Preservation | > | | Awaiting Orders… | Mobile Aegis | [… /// … /// … /// …] | Universal Detranslation | > | > * * * > | > * * * > | > * * * > | > * * * > | Digital Cartography | > | 3️⃣ | **_Alert_** | **_Guard_** | **_Alert_** | Leyline Mapping | > | | High Alert | Guard Duty | [Weapon Deployment] | Calculate Probabilities | > | | Combat | Security | [Active Pursuit] | Sacrifice to Atlas | > | | Requesting Assistance | Local Defence | [Signalling Reinforcements] | Authenticate Threats | > | | Engaging | Active Defence | [Preemptive Destruction] | Anomaly Spoofing | > | | Targeting | Escort | [Target Prediction] | Data Interception | > | | Target Acquired | Localised Suppression | [Ammo Fabrication] | | > | | Repairing Breach | Sentry | [Field Suppression] | | > | | Repairing Anomaly | Active Protection | [Trend Analysis] | | > | | Cleansing Anomaly | Guardian | [Seal Breach] | | > | | BREACHED | Active Oversight | [Anomaly Repair] | | > | | Combat | Local Overwatch | [RED RED RED] | | > | | Weapons Deployed | Active Protection | [A T L A S] | | > | | Targeting | Area Defence | [Firing Eye] | | > | | Combat | Specific Patrol | [Hardpoint Repair] | | > | | High Alert | Anomaly Buffer | [Hunting] | | For full tables of Sentinel data found in the localisation files, see [here](https://forums.atlas-65.com/t/nms-lore-more-spoilers-version-1-38/3318/72). --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.atlas-65.com/t/sentinel-functions/3380)._
