When I first got to the Sludgeworks, I could swear I kept hearing the sound a stealthed rogue makes. It was driving me crazy! Then, when I got this quest, I actually felt GLAD, because that means it wasn't just me.

around the area you'll find white sparkles moving around. Throw the gas bombs at them to reveal and fight the Alliance Spies.
You can also detect spies by the presence of butterfly knives in the backs of your allies, and by a sharp increase in the number of sapped sentries.

What to do
Description
We've got another problem, {name}. Alliance spies are all over the place! You haven't seen any? That's because they're invisible! Cloaked! I have a solution, but I need muscle like you to go out there and follow through with my plan. Use this gas bomb on the cloaked spies and it will reveal them. Once revealed, send them back to their maker. You'll know a cloaked spy by the effect they leave in the air. Look closely!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Turd Problem
We have a little problem... <Jibbly points to the large turds covering the base.> We built the Sludgewerks near a wyvern habitat. Now our initial blueprints for the Sludgewerks were drawn up so as not to disturb the wyvern habitat as the beasts are apparently sacred to tauren and orcs.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Final Delivery
Overlord Krom'gar sends word from the base. You are to get back on the Krom'gar hot air balloon and take it to Cliffwalker Post. From there, the plan is to unleash the payload on the Alliance at Battlescar Valley. You better get going, <name>. It's not wise to keep Krom'gar waiting.
