It seems this npc starts an event every 2 hours. Starts at 27,52 and then heats to Bashir Landing.
The point is to take away the mobs from them and kill them. on the first phase u get non elite mobs and on the second u get elite+non elite+towers. Just went there with a holy pala, me /prot war) and a feral druid.
Managed to keep them away from the mobs but since we had lack of dps npcs start dying cuz of the towers. I wonder what thos gives after completing it.
Anyone knows?

If you save the NPC's you can purchase 4 different flasks that otherwise aren't available.

Some of the chatter before they take off is from the movie Aliens.

"I just need to know one thing man,where they are."

Run-down of the Aether-Tech Event:

The Aether-Tech Apprentice will tell you when the Skyguard Aether-Tech and escort move out. They will fly between Blades on their way to the Bash'ir Crystalforge. There, the Skyguard Aether-Tech will set up by the Forge, while her escort forms a protective wedge behind her. The Tech's tampering will summon a field of Fleshbeasts.

These fleshbeasts will randomly charge in first singletons, then twins, at the Skyguard Aether-Tech. Eventually, an elite beast that is about three times physically bigger spawns, and will charge the Tech. Kill him, and the unengaged fleshbeasts will despawn. The Tech will now deploy flares to summon a companion; a vendor who helps the Tech at the Forge.

Once the new NPC begins busying itself at the Forge, a new field of fleshbeasts manifests, with the addition of elite Unbound Ethereals. These, too, will randomly charge the Tech. Defend her until the large towers spawn. Kill the towers, and the unengaged mobs will despawn as the Tech deploys more flares for another assistant.

This time, the field will fill with Ethereals, unbound and wrapped. Watch for Bash'ir Controllers; they have Holy Nova and can damage every one of the Tech's escorts at once. Eventually, The Grand Collector will appear and begin summoning the nastiest trash in this fight. If you can manage to hold them back, The Grand Collector will get involved himself, attacking the Tech. Draw the Collector away from the Aether-Tech, and burn him down. Keep an eye on the Tech, though, as new trash will continue to attack her in rapid succession until the Collector dies. Once he dies, the Tech fires off more flares to summon the final vendor.

To speed things up at higher levels, you can freely kill some of the non-charging trash. It seems to want you to kill a certain number of enemies before things progress. Bring a friend; it can get hectic by yourself.

What is the status of this event nowadays? On Doomhammer/Turalyon Aether-tech Apprentice's timer is stuck at '0 minutes' and no Skyguard Aether-Tech spawns whatsoever. ~~Thus no event and no access to Aether-tech Master.~~

Update: The event itself spawns on Bash'ir Landing at even hours and works fine. The location will phase, but the Skyguard NPCs takes about five minutes to spawn and start the event. The only problem is at the Skyguard Outpost where no announcement or timer works, and the only indicator is when Aether-tech Apprentice changes his response from being a broken timer to indicating that the event is happening.
