"Nothing. We made the decision not to tell them." Ororo sighed, leaning forward to rest her arms on her knees. Even now, days after they'd returned from that mission, it was hard to admit what they did. This was probably the first time she'd even talked about it since coming back. "We weighed our options, and in the end we helped search for the location of the cultists' city. We didn't find it ourselves, but we were told that they had a good idea by the time we left. And that the Shift explosive would be ready for use in a matter of weeks. Perhaps sooner."

She raised her eyes to look up at Logan. "In effect, I suppose you could say that we essentially condemned that entire city to death."

Compliance through inaction. But not even that. She helped find the city and participated. Even if she didn't set the bomb off, she was a part of it. And Logan found himself awed that Ororo could be taken to that point.

She wouldn't even take lives in the drafts. But this...

"... don't suppose it matters if I said I'd do the same thing."

She gave a noncommittal shrug before continuing, doing her best to keep her voice clinical. "... This bomb, they call it a Shift Explosive. We weren't given exact details, but apparently it is the sort of technology that can circumvent this world's conditions regarding death." She let out a long, shuddering breath. "It does not kill permanently, but it does keep those that it does kill from returning for years."

"... so it's useful, then." He'd asked about bombs, once. The answer he'd got, from most, was just that it was pointless. A waste of resources and land for an enemy that would pop back up again. In a war of attrition and destruction, the cultists always held the advantage.

But not with this bomb.
