Meet the Guardians

Made a run out to one of those Guardian sites you hear so much about the other day. Thankfully I had some friends along to show me the ropes, or I would have been in way over my head. First, those ruins are just incredible. To think that some highly advanced alien race built this stuff long before we ever took to the stars... it boggles the mind. It's a shame it's all just a shadow of its former self. Still, it was fun to wander around and get a look at all these things, never mind that I was essentially picking over the bones of a long dead civilization to further my own aims. That said, having those Sentinels popping up and taking shots at me in my SRV while I was on my little scavenger hunt made things a wee bit more interesting. I'm guessing the only reason I'm still alive to write this was due to the age of their systems. I can only imagine that, in their prime, those things would have swarmed me, and the PDS's on the Wanderlust wouldn't have done more than make some pretty streaks in the sky. Hell, the Wanderlust would probably have been reduced to a pile of slag cooling on the surface of that planet, and I'd be nothing more than another pile of bones added to those left behind by the Guardians.I must be insane for wanting to go back.
