Contrary to what the quest led me to believe, you do not need their augmentation to complete the quest.
Quest is pretty straight forward. Simply find these purple looking orbs in the area on the ground and click to disable them.

Description
If the Grand Empress's agents are still operating under security standards from my time, they would have hidden powerful pheromone mines all around the clutches. With mere whisper she could detonate them all simultaneously, engulfing the palace and rendering entire siege armies powerless. If we hope to have any success in a large scale standoff, we need to disable those mines. My... "gift" to you when we met will allow you to see the mines. Disturb them and get to a safe distance.

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.
