When you use the robot, you'll get a whisper
Siege Engineer Quarterflash whispers: The bot will adjust it's speed to match your own. I would suggest you mount up to speed things along. By the way, the bot was put together with salvaged components from a pile of scrap metal delivered to me from Outland. There were some side effects.
BC Raiders should recognize the robot's speech files: Scrap metal, indeed...

Description
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. The machine was created with the sole purpose of finding that which has been lost. These are unfortunate circumstances, but the machine is your best chance at finding Slinkin. When you are ready to begin your search, place the bot on the ground next to me.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest

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.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Bleeding Ore
Hours before the Naxxramas invasion, one of the miners stumbled upon a dark ore that was oozing a viscous fluid. In the chaos that occurred during the evacuation of the mine, we lost the samples taken from the alien node. Now the Scourge prospects the ore for use in their machines of death.
