Take this quest along with
Unstable Mana Crystals - http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=8463
and
Wanted: Thaelis the Hungerer - http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=8468If you start out on the road at around 44, 45 and follow that north you can pick up the amount of Mana Crystals required for Unstable Mana Crystals and kill the Arcane Patrollers along the way for the Major Malfunction quest. The road will bring you under the bridge and right up too the side door of the house at 45, 38 where Thaelis is located. You will have to kill maybe two Urchins outside, and one inside and then you can pull Thaelis by himself. Turn around and take the same road back the way you came in.
One trip and you should have 3 quests complete.
Arcane Patrollers can be found wandering throughout the Ruins of Silvermoon (usually along the side roads). Kill them to collect the six Arcane Cores. Be careful; they often join in combat with Wretched Urchins. A group of Urchins and a Patroller or two can really ruin a day!

The arcane patrollers crafted by our forefathers to protect the city have fallen into a dangerous state of disrepair. They fail to recognize us as their masters and will attack us on sight! Even though they were created many years ago, the arcane cores that power them are still quite useful and valuable to us. I want you to gather these cores and bring them to me so I can put them to good use again. You will find the patrollers in the ruined section of Silvermoon, to the northwest.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Darnassian Intrusions
Besides the constant threat that the Wretched represent, I also have to deal with all kind of fictitious reports of night elf sightings. Though most reports are unfounded, one recent incident demands further investigation.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Arcane Instability
It's about time that dimwit, Caidanis, sent someone this way. I warned of the dangers of increasing the load on the West Sanctum! Now one of our energy converters is destroyed and arcane wraiths are pouring out of the sanctum!
