A little weird that Dagran calls us an Outlander in his voiced line, here. Completely understand the Earthen and other races in the Isle calling us that, we're new to them, but for Dagran, we've been defending Azeroth longer than he's been alive.
When we first met him, he was still inside his mum.
Did you mean, "Champion," lad?
I had the same reaction at first but I think it might be intentional to show how much Dagran is connecting with the Earthen. I think it might be to show how he is sorta "going native" as it were. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/go%20native

We're back, and we're ready. You and ZZ-01-47 head in and cause some mayhem. Blow stuff up and make a mess that will draw them out of the manufacturing bay. I'll use the commotion to sneak inside.

Just saw that, it came off very strange. Definitely seemed like an error in the lines provided to the voice actor.
