if you look east, there's another room which looks like a long hallway. At the beginning of the room are three thingies that look like mini helicopters; these are the Sanitron 500s. It's a vehicle. There is a screenshot of them at the top of this page.

Description

You've been down here in Gnomeregan for a long time, {name}, and it's amazing that you've survived and kept your wits so long! We need to get you out. Before we can send you to the surface to join the rest of the gnomes, you have to go through the decontamination process. Just head into the next room and board the Sanitron 500. It will do the rest! It shouldn't even hurt... much. When you're all done, check in with Technician Braggle and he'll make sure you get some suitable gear.

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.

  • Withdraw to the Loading Room!New Tinkertown · Level 1-10

    Excellent job gathering the other survivors! They - and you - are the reason S.A.F.E. teams keep coming down here. Nevin won't rest until we've found and rescued every possible survivor. I'm sending my men to the Loading Room to prepare for decontamination.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • To the SurfaceNew Tinkertown · Level 1-10

    Nevin has just sent word that he and his men are making their way to the surface. He'll be waiting for you in the building that S.A.F.E. has established as its headquarters. See Torben Zapblast over there?
