My progress so far:
I expanded my base with a cylindrical room with 3 terminals(construction, science and weapons). On my way to Aishika-Yok VII station to hire a scientist I came across a freighter under attack. I helped the freighter taking out the pirates. The freighter captain handed me control of the ship. After that, I was contacted by Apollo. He wanted me to collect nanites to buy some upgrades. Before following Apollo's suggestion, I visited an outlaw station in Torganeil system. It's an interesting place with big money opportunities. I'm planning make some money and buy a new starship. (log #11)
I warped to Toganeil system where the outlaw sation is located. The bounty master of Toganeil station offers various tasks which could lead to big money. After completing a few tasks, I bought a new starship. It's a class A solar sailor, which is significantly more agile than my previous starship. I got back to my capital ship stationed in Aishika-Yok VII system, and recruited a wingman who will assist me in space combat. (log #12)
Following Apollo's plan to investigate the Sentinels, I raided a Korvax facility on planet Kirt XVI in Amurobeo XIX system. Breaking into the facility caused the Sentinels swarm around the building because Korvax entities worship the lord of the Sentinels, Atlas as deity. The terminal inside had no useful information about the Sentinels. I ran out of the building and fled. Meanwhile, Apollo collected and analyzed the signals from the Sentinel swarm and found out monoliths were related to their instantaneous appearance via some kind of teleport. I'm going to investigate those monoliths. (log #13)
Using my starship's scanner, I detected the first monolith. It was on planet KirtXVI.
I landed near the gigantic black structure on a small island. Activating the monolith gave me a vision. A vision of ancient memories about the First Traveler.
The vision went like this: the First Traveler woke up under a crimson star, began to exploring the galaxy hoping to find purpose and meaning. Unlike Gek, Korvax, and Vykeen people - the inhabitants of the galaxy - the First Traveler could perceive the portal to another realm. But the Traveler didn't know how to open it.
After the vision I received the glyphs. They were not complete, so I had to find more monoliths to obtain more. The Sentinels began to appear and attacked me. I ran to my starship and fled.
The second monolith was on icy planet named Smakewe Ujin. This monolith also gave me a vision and partial glyphs.
The First Traveler found out how to use the portal, by capturing and dismantling a Sentinel drone. Analyzing the memory of the drone, the Traveler obtained the glyphs needed to open the portal.
The Traveler went into the portal and encountered the omnipotent being, Atlas. The Traveler asked Atlas how many worlds are left to visit. Atlas answered there are 18 quintillion planets.
Fortunately, I could leave the place without confronting the Sentinels.
The third monolith was in a mountainous region of planet Kirt XVI. The same thing happened, the glyphs and a vision.
The Atlas told the Traveler that he or she is the first of the kind and multitude would follow. They would be traveling the galaxy like the First One. The Traveler rejected and cursed Atlas, saying something like "I'm not going to die without seeing all the worlds. I'll find a way and survive until I visit them all, no matter the cost."
After this final vision, the Sentinel swarm surrounded me. I ran to my starship and launched into space, but the Sentinel Interceptor squadron warped into my location.
After taking out several interceptors, I engaged the pulse drive and escaped out of combat zone.
I detected another energy source on plant Kirt XVI. Now that the glyphs are complete, this must be the portal which Artemis went through. Search for Artemis is nearing to the end.
