The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
Someone at Blizzard really seems to love the movie Starship Troopers, two quests on Mechagon dedicated to it.
This is quite a rare daily quest, as it can be several days between availability, so you definitely need to seize any chance you have to do it if you are trying to complete Outside Influences.
