Description
Reconnaissance reports that the Horde has made inroads into the desert of Vol'dun. We can't allow the Horde to continue to work there unchecked, so we're preparing an expedition to establish a beachhead. {name}, as one of our most accomplished soldiers I'd appreciate if you joined us. Your help will be essential for the success of our mission. Wrap up your affairs here in the harbor and report to Grand Admiral Jes-Tereth. We will set sail when you're ready.

Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Ooh Rah!
We're going to need a harbor for our base of operations. Those ruins across the way should be perfect for our needs. Unfortunately, it looks to be occupied by a hostile force so I'm sending the marines to secure the shore. As the most experienced soldier here I want you to go with them.
