Description
Quarterflash recently requisitioned my group for a specialist that he could send on a reconnaissance mission to the Wintergarde Mine. To that end, I sent him Slinkin, my demolitionist. I foolishly thought that he could close off that pit of damnation after his mission for Quarterflash was complete, securing another victory for us against the Scourge. An entire day has now passed and Slinkin has not returned. I want answers! Speak with Siege Engineer Quarterflash and track down my missing agent!

While I have not heard from Slinkin or know what fate has befallen him, perhaps I can assist in finding him. <Quarterflash holds up a tiny mechanical toy.> This is not a toy, newfound compatriot. It is, in fact, my latest mechanical creation.
