The gas. If the gas was coming from his mouth, and he was being careful in how he moved, that meant there was something about the gas. I even had an idea about what it was.
Hm, perhaps moving quickly in the gas might cause it to harm him somehow?
Maybe he hadn’t wanted to blow himself up.
Yeah, I was honestly still more on that train.
He’d been invested in terraforming, once upon a time. Making inhospitable environments hospitable. Chances were he was loaded down with custom-made organisms that were primed to generate the gas he was using, maybe even storing it in a compressed form.
Ohh, yeah, that makes sense. Now how do you use that to stop him?
Given his tinker abilities, they could be advanced enough to account for the sheer volume of the gas. It could even be how his guns operated: with compressed, combustible gas used to fire the shot.
Sounds legit.
There was no way to say for sure, but my gut told me I was right or I was pretty close to the mark.
Taylor is usually right when it comes with an explanation like this, though that’s more of a narrative thing than an in-universe gut feeling.
His actions, both the obvious and minor ones, make a complete, logical sense if I assumed he was spewing out massive volumes of flammable gas.
Yay!
And yeah, it also answers one question Taylor hasn’t asked: Why does he have a mouth now in the first place?
