Description
<If the infamous Sicco Thermaplugg is behind this, the implications are dire indeed.> <Worse still, he appears to have allied himself with the Legion - who knows what 'gifts' they have given the mad mekgineer.> <Mux back in Gadgetzan can hopefully help you track down Thermaplugg before it's too late.>
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

This is not good. We have alarms set up throughout Gnomeregan to detect any unauthorized personnel while we finish de-irradiating it. Just about every single one was tripped in the past few hours.
