Description
You've done us a great service, {class}, so I'm going to let you in on a little secret. The men you've saved today aren't your everyday Stormwind troops. We belong to a special detachment of elite soldiers sent here not only to contend with the Horde, but to investigate the massive geological disturbances originating from the nearby sea floor. I tell you this because our top secret equipment lies in the bottom of some of our wrecked ships here. That gear must be retrieved!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- To Arms!
As we struggled not to drown, my men and I were forced to abandon our weapons and much of our armor. Erunak says to expect a major attack from the naga soon and I'm inclined to believe him. If we're going to stand a chance, we'll need your help to recover our lost armaments.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- On Our Own Terms
We're as ready as we'll ever be. No sense waiting around for the naga to find us. I'll address the men, then we'll meet the enemy on our own terms and let fate decide the outcome.
