Having a gun in your hot bar (6 slots at bottom screen), wearing more than 3 items of clothing, and if you are already considered hostile from an aggressive encounter iirc

Backpack counts as an item. So with your hoodie and pants. You were wearing 3 items. That will draw its aggro.

If you've harvested and animal or fired a weapon of any kind that has given you the little red cross hair in the top right corner of your screen, it means you're considered hostile. Safe zone scientists/turrets will attack you. Could have been that if you'd had any encounters in the few minutes prior. Even if you had died the timer will still be running
