Note that after you unlock the Mechagnome allied race the only reason to do this quest line on alts afterward is to make the bloody quest icons go away. (I really wish Blizzard had not removed the ability to hide quests.) Unlike some of the other allied quest stuff, these quests are still doable on alts after you have completed the chain on one character, but they don't reward much except for a smattering of gold -- notably, no big azerite boosts or such.
Perhaps the least bad way to deal with this, so that Kelsey isn't always pestering you with the ! right Boralus's Tradewinds Market, is to do the quest through Waning Energy so that at least her ! is way over at the castle.

If anyone else has alts they don't want to do the quest on for whatever reason, I found the sound file ID to mute with an addon (like MSF) to prevent being spammed every time you walk through Boralus. It's 3192266
To mute it manually: /run MuteSoundFile(3192266)

Description
Mekkatorque's pod is powering down. We are no longer able to hear him speak. His pulse has slowed, in spite of the best efforts of Kul Tiran healers. I have an idea, but I am going to need your help. Meet me at Proudmoore Keep. We must go soon.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Urgent Care
Excellent timing, <name>. Kelsey Steelspark has been sending communications to the capital cities looking for aid. Mekkatorque's condition is quite dire and time is of the essence. Hurry to Boralus Harbor, she will be watching for you.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Someone Who Can Help
I believe there is a way to help Mekkatorque, but some may not be a hundred percent on board... The mechagnomes have advanced techniques in biomechanical repair and improvements. If there is even a chance they can help him, we have to try!
