Dialogue

Event ready

Archaeologist Aekki: Ah, yes, you there! How would you like to have your name go down in history?

Archaeologist Aekki: Well, that is, go down in history again, of course.

Archaeologist Aekki: I need to perform a thorough study of these objects, and you need to help me. Come along, now. I promise I'll explain it in a way you can comprehend.

You're lucky I'm in a good mood.

Oh, sorry. I guess I can't comprehend your request.

Event start

Archaeologist Aekki: Now, all you need to do is keep any threats away from me while I work.

Archaeologist Aekki: Oh, and gather up any smaller samples you find. You can handle that, right?

During

Archaeologist Aekki: It seems you've activated their defenses somehow. Deal with them! My work is too important for interruptions.

Archaeologist Aekki: What a strange property. Well don't just stand there, go get more of them for me to study!

Archaeologist Aekki: Perhaps the transformation is a ward placed on the objects. Not that effective, clearly, since you're still alive.

Archaeologist Aekki: Another fascinating historical find. This, this is what makes it all worth it.

Archaeologist Aekki: Would you stop goofing around, please? Some of us are trying to work here.

If capture point bar depletes

Archaeologist Aekki: Oh come on now, can I really be expected to work like this? Get these things out of here!

Once capture point is safe again

Archaeologist Aekki: Finally, some peace and quiet. Back to gathering specimens now; we don't have all day.

If Aekki's health bar gets too low

Archaeologist Aekki: What are you doing? Help me!

Event success

Archaeologist Aekki: You performed adequately. I'll make sure you're given due credit in the footnotes of my paper.

Event failure

Archaeologist Aekki: I cannot work under these conditions! I'm done here until I find a better krewe!
