OUTPOST LOG 010 — The Last Rotation Sentinel contains more information if you're interested in checking this creature out.

The Sentinel runs on a Tension reserve of 0–10.

Every round it loses 1. Defense costs 1. Offense costs 2.

When it hits 0, it can self-wind — back to 6 Tension. One controlled steam release. One round of bonus defense.
Cost: permanent –1 Max Tension. Every time. No exceptions.

It knows exactly what it's spending.

The Last Rotation Sentinel does not malfunction. It does not panic. It does not rage.

Its behavior shifts with its remaining Tension - from precise, anticipatory interception at full reserve to quiet, total dedication to defense at the end.

At every stage it speaks clearly. It remembers everything. Only its mechanical potential shortens.

That's the tragedy.

OUTPOST LOG 010 is live.

The Last Rotation Sentinel doesn't malfunction. It doesn't panic. It simply continues — until it can't.

Every self-wind costs it something permanent. It knows this. It does it anyway.

"Remaining rotations: three. I will allocate them to you."
