How to get this quest on a fresh character that's never touched BFA before:

1. Go to Boralus
2. Take quest titled A Dying World from the stone dwarf named "Earthen Guardian" next to the inn
3. Finish that chain to get heart of Azeroth necklace
4. Continue the chain to "Attend the war council"
5. When you talk to Jaina at the harbor you can skip the scenario if you've done it before on another character
6. Keep following the chain in Boralus until you're able to pick a zone on the map next to Taelia
7. Just pick Tiragarde as your "zone" and turn it in to Taelia and now Genn Greymane will have "Send the Fleet" quest available outside on the ship
8. This quest will take you to Nazjatar and as soon as you get there you can complete the quest and hearth/port out and make your way back to Boralus
9. [npc=150208] next to the flight path will have this quest to unlock Mechagon

Description

I came as soon as I heard! A mysterious vault has been discovered in Tiragarde. Centuries ago, the last king of the gnomes, King Mechagon, led his followers in search of a mythical land of technology. He left no clue as to where he was headed, and over time his legend faded into history. This vault could be the first step to discovering King Mechagon's true fate! I must examine it firsthand. Meet me there, Champion. I could use your assistance.

    This vault screams of ancient gnomish tech! I believe this could be the key that leads us to King Mechagon! I can't risk putting myself in danger though, so you will lead the way into the vault. Well, what are we waiting for? Let's see what's inside!
