Start EventEvent is triggered by keyword, speaking with Sergeant Hujiid and saying 'ready'
[Thu Mar 09 22:11:34 2023] Sergeant Hujiid says, 'Hail, friend. Thank you so much for coming to help. The Akheva have just arrived. I'm sure what you see here is not the extent of what they will bring to bear. All we hope to do here is bloody thier noses. [Reduce] their forces and make them think twice before advancing.'
[Thu Mar 09 22:11:34 2023] Sergeant Hujiid says, 'It's that shadow that worries me the most. It has been growing a bit since I got here. If you can somehow destroy that thing then I would consider this a win and we can retreat. If we let that thing expand too much we might not be able to stop it. For now they seem to be waiting for more of their forces to arrive. It might be best if you attack them as soon as you are [ready]. If you need to [leave], I can assist you with that.'
[Thu Mar 09 22:11:34 2023] Sergeant Hujiid says, 'Best of luck to you, friend.'
