My first sleeper cache....exhilerating AND terrifying

Finally got a 100% on a sleeper last night. I think it was a limited...

First can was fairly easy, revealed an acceleration gate.

When I arrived on grid there ware a dozen cans whos names were all new to me and some sentries over 150km off which seemed, for the time being, to be of no concern.

Opened the nearest can and scored 25M. Opened another for the same, but this time a security countdown doohickey showed up with 30 seconds on it. No way I was going to hack that in time.

Some sort of guardians awoke and spewed green acid. I piloted away from the site to be safe...or so I thought. I got a message that the clouds would expand in 30, 20, 10....and I was instantly dead.

Despite the outcome, it was fun as heck! This is what exploring should be.

Looking back, I really did not have a concept of exactly where the gas was, or how far it reached. Any tips for when I run into that sort of thing again?
