TheWoWDBAs soon as you accept this quest, a S.A.F.E. Operative spawns and starts moving quickly to the south. If you aren't paying attention, you might not see him. Just head straight south along the main pathway, go up the stairs, and veer slightly to the east and you'll reach the Loading Room.
This quest leads to Decontamination.

There's something amusing about way the operative runs with the walk animation.

Description
Excellent job gathering the other survivors! They - and you - are the reason S.A.F.E. teams keep coming down here. Nevin won't rest until we've found and rescued every possible survivor. I'm sending my men to the Loading Room to prepare for decontamination. Please follow them and meet up with Gaffer Coilspring when you arrive. She'll set you up for decontamination and have you on your way to the surface.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- See to the Survivors
If we don't do something quick, neither Nevin nor the survivors will make it out of here alive. I'm going to give you my squad's emergency teleport beacon. We still have enough strength and ammunition to fight our way out of here, but those survivors are in no condition to make a run for it.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Decontamination
You've been down here in Gnomeregan for a long time, <name>, and it's amazing that you've survived and kept your wits so long! We need to get you out. Before we can send you to the surface to join the rest of the gnomes, you have to go through the decontamination process.
The storyline at a glance
Gnomeregan has 37 steps, from Pinned Down to On to Kharanos.
Maps its steps are placed on (steps per map): New Tinkertown (30), New Tinkertown (5), Dun Morogh (2).
