Reference to William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. When Brutus goes to stab Julius Caesar with the rest of the senate during the assassination, Caesar says in astonishment "Et tu, Brute?" which literally translates from Latin as "And you, Brutus?", but can be thought to say "You too, Brutus?" in modern English.
So... what's in the box?

What to do
Description
It's time to conclude this matter efficiently. From what we've determined, this mysterious object is in the possession of the "smart" brute described in the journal. We don't know exactly what's happened to this creature, obviously, so you should take caution. This... "Meatface" is hiding in the hills, near where these goblins bury their dead. Look for the graveyard and he should be just past it.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Terrapination
We need to obtain the object described in this journal, for certain. Extracting it from a chest would be a feasible matter, but the object itself sounds compromised, and unstable. Attempting to forcefully open the chest could be disastrous.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Un-Chartered
As I may have mentioned, I'm trying to get these Dunemaul ogres to join the Horde..and work for the Bilgewater Cartel as cheap local labor. To pull this off, we've gotta pay lip service to the actual initiation process and all that, or I'm going to catch flak later on.
