Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- How to Sink a Zandalari Battleship
Let's go over our plan of attack, but remember above all things, the Zandalari cannot know our full forces are here. If they were to discover an Alliance base within the shadow of their empire... we would be wiped out in an instant.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Sabotaging the Pa'ku
Our first job is to plant some bombs along these ships. I'll take care of the smaller ships, you deal with the Breath of Pa'ku. Whatever that means. Kelsey says these bombs are the latest in gnome technology. We plant 'em and she can detonate them at any time.
