The VLD system is probably a reference to the military's HALO (High Altitude Low Opening) combat parachuting, in which paratroopers are dropped from extremely high altitudes and open their chutes as low as is safe.

The technique was first used in Vietnam to drop SOG troopers into zones too dangerous for helicopter insert, and has been used by special operations groups ever since.

Description

The cataclysm has brought our enemies closer to home, so the chief of Gnomeregan covert operations asked me to build a device to dispatch personnel quickly and quietly to any corner of Dun Morogh. Behold, the ultrasafe personnel launcher! With a jolt of electricity and the benefit of a VLD parachute system, uh, that's 'very late deployment' for you laymen, this baby'll get you to the front in no time. Just hop aboard and prepare for flight! Slamp Wobblecog will be waiting for you in the drop zone.

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.

  • Help from Steelgrill's DepotDun Morogh · Level 1-30

    With your help, we've managed to push toward Frostmane Retreat. Our forces will soon be in position to dwindle down the Frostmane trolls' reserves, leaving their village open to attack. That's where the Gnomeregan covert ops team comes in.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The View from Down HereDun Morogh · Level 1-30

    We need to halt the construction on this Frostmane village. If we let them get too entrenched, it will be more difficult to keep them from settling here permanently. It's time to give those brutes a gnome's-eye view of the world!
