Nosumxuk System

Emura 79/P2 - Tropical Planet

• As Nosumxuk's star dove into the horizon, the exosuit's warning system blared as two sentinels burst out of the ground and closed in on our position.
• Using the newly installed scatter blaster weapon on our experimental multi-tool we dusted the two sentinels.
• Proximity sensors warned that another squad of sentinels would be on top of us soon, but we still hadn't completed our search of the final creatures on the planet.
• According to the database, both undiscovered fauna were potentially found in the cave systems of the region.

• With that information, we leaped off of the plateau and splashed into the ocean.
• It wasn't long before we found an underwater cave system that snaked through the bottom of the island chain we landed on.

• After a few hours of diving through the serpentine caves, we emerged at the mouth of a cave laden with dripping stalactites and stalagmites.
• The dreary and dank cavern steeply shot up revealing a near vertical path back to the top of the plateau.

• Unfortunately, we couldn't locate the final creatures, and we had already spent days on the planet ducking sentinels and hostile fauna. 
• If you find yourself here on Emura, may you find the last two!
• With a recharged life support system, we gingerly crept our way up the cavern.
• It wasn't an easy climb - we found ourselves slipping down several times over and our shields took quite a beating as we tumbled in the dark.

• After what felt like hours shuffling around in the dark, we managed to break through near the summit of the plateau; the star greeting us warmly through the fuzzy peach sky.

• Overhead, the Pendragon rested atop billowing clouds as we regained our senses and our shaky footing.
• Having caught our breath, we took a second to take in the sweeping views of Emura's island chains drifting on the vast purple ocean.

• Having made our way up to the lip of the plateau and after feebly approaching Caliburn, four sentinels exploded out of the ground...
• ...they were waiting for us.

• It was time for the Duster Buster!

• We swiftly dusted off the initial squads of sentinels, when two sentinel quads leapt into the fray - lasers trained on our exosuit power generator.
• Our shields flickered, but we boosted away from the quads' dancing lasers and unloaded as many rounds of our scatter blaster at the nimble automatons!

• Our exosuit flashed a message on our HUD, "Warning//Supression Level 4, SEVERE!"
• Sentinel walkers were inbound.
• Our shields had barely recovered and we still had time to escape... we didn't care.

• Time to harvest some walker brains!

• The walker let loose a devastating red beam - our shields barely managed to dissipate the hissing energy...

• After trading blast for blast, the towering walker finally fell...

• With our shields barely recovered, a second sentinel burst onto the battlefield.
• In turn we summoned our exomech - PUG-33!

• Another heated exchanged ensued, before we finally toppled the second walker!

• Running low on reserves and shields, we jumped into the Caliburn and rocketed off the smoldering surface of the plateau.

• On approach to the Pendragon, we received a notification from the crew:
• Although we hadn't discovered the final two creatures on Emura, online discovery services had acknowledged our ability to survive on extreme worlds.
• Milestone achieved: "Everlasting" :D

• We returned to the Pendragon on shaky wings :P
