If you wandered off after accepting the quest, the portal to Mmarl is at 75.5 34.0 in The Oasis on K'aresh.
Thanks, I was about to travel there manually, because that's the kind of learned helplessness I've gained from WoW.

What to do
Description
It appears the slatebacks are not secreting the correct pheromones, resulting in them not breeding. We believe this is a side effect of the stasis. The technology was never tested for such an extreme length of time. Until now. Hemet tells me there are creatures called niffen in Azeroth that have expertise in this research. Bring me one from Azj-Kahet. You can use my portal to quickly get there.
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Running Free
Been talkin' to Ve'nari and Om'talad--trying to help the slatebacks get together. Apparently slatebacks used to display virility by engaging in races. Challenge the slateback alpha to a race. At worst, you'll both get some exercise. At best, it will increase the likelihood of a successful pairing.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Smallest Possible Effort
You're a shrewd negotiator, <name>. That's good fun! I'll start packing. You go get some bug bits for me, okay?
