NEUTRALIZE.
That word.
It seemed North and Caitlyn had two different interpretations of it.
When the Council had asked about their plans to complete their objectives, North hesitated to answer.
And so, Caitlyn proposed using the pipe system her mother installed in the Lanes to clear out Silco's allies from areas he once claimed as his own, which would allow them an easier time in dismantling Shimmer.
That pipe system was what was keeping the undercity's air breathable.
It prevented the leak of a severely dangerous, even deadly gas known as The Grey.
North didn't like Caitlyn's idea all that much, as it would risk the possibility of the gas spreading to areas it didn't need to and harming innocents.
They discussed it before attending the meeting, and they couldn't seem to come to an agreement.
However, she didn't get much of a chance to protest the idea.
She intended to let Caitlyn propose it and then bring forth a potential alternative, but Caitlyn had put it forward as if it was a firm conclusion they had reached together.
As soon as the words left her mouth, the Council pushed for it.
With their agreement, Caitlyn accessed the pipe system and disrupted the function of the pipes near Silco's most recent hideouts, using North and Vi's knowledge.
One last time, North asked for the promise that the gas's only use would be to clear the streets, and Caitlyn assured her.
It not only made her uncomfortable, but she could see that it left Vi with a sense of unease as well. Everything about what she was doing did. It was clear through her face. And yet, she kept silent.
North didn't know what to think.
She questioned if she was being naive for believing the gas wouldn't reach places it shouldn't.
She questioned why she was just complying instead of taking more authority. Surely, it couldn't have been too hard to find another way, right?
It wasn't like she didn't care. So then, why...?
With a plan set in place, the team of Enforcers headed down to the undercity, armored and armed, gas masks and goggles protecting their faces while they roamed Zaun.
