The quest name is probably a reference to the song of the same name from the Zac Brown Band.

Description
Okay, I am going to need one more thing from you. The sethrak leader, Warlord Surgios, has been a real pain for me. He stole my mind enhancer. I can't do my work without it. It will make me be able to think much more clearly, and make less...deadly mistakes.
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.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Mechanical Liberation
Since you successfully interrupted my nap, my defenses are obviously lacking to say the least. That's because the sethrak, in addition to stealing my gadgets and gizmos, stole my mechs! Those morons don't even have the keys! <Gryzix laughs> Here, take my keys and get my mechs back.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Tooling Around Vol'dun
Okay, <name>. We got almost everything we need. Almost. You see, I lost my toolbox. I must have dropped it while running from the sethrak a couple days ago. Can ya fetch it for me? I'm not a very good engineer without my tools! And take a mech with ya.
