To pick up this quest, grab A Spy Like Us from Nizrek. Complete that quest, then the followups Defense of the People and Make Them Prey, and you can then pick this quest up from Gut'usul
I hope a Blizzard developer steps on a Lego for the stupidity of stacking quest mobs atop each other in different buildings.

Description
While you have been out, I've been keeping busy as well. Your exploits in the Burrows drew the attention of someone much higher up. A strange being wrapped in bandages, with a scent like despair. Fortunately, this unusual monster is paying a visit all the way down in the Burrows to find out why their abductors are missing. Now is our chance to strike, and take down this whole operation.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Make Them Prey
These abductors are rounding up citizens and no one in the Burrows can stop them. I think it is about time somebody did something. They stalk the Burrows thinking they are unseen but I can see them, we can all see them. It's just nobody here can oppose them. That is where you come in.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- To Kill a Queen
Tightening her grip on the citizens is something I expected of the Queen but forcefully ascending the population of the Burrows is too far. Queen Ansurek has fallen far greater than I ever expected. I can't sit idly by and watch her lead our people to ruin. The time is now.
