Description

I get it, I get it. Cappy's too busy to see this for himself. His loss!

See, I've managed to 'acquire' a certain shipment of solution from the enemy. And as much as I hate tinkerin' with inferior goblin technology, I'm inclined to make an exception here.

Take this sample. I'll need you to run a few field tests, just to prove its usefulness, while I try to do a little reverse engineering to duplicate the creation process.

Go to the front and gather the materials to make a decoy, then use the oil.

Desperate times, <class>... As uncomfortable as it makes me, I'm prepared to accept assistance from anyone - including our resident death knight. Go to Thassarian and see if he can help us develop tactics against the Scourge that will ensure victory once we are able to mount another offensive.
