"I still can´t believe i agreed to this, maybe i should´ve just waited it out and taken lead as far as possible later." 
You had been complaining about this for a while now and apparently Hulk was finally sick of it.

"Come on, Boss, i think you had thought of all the good reasons to say yes when you did it."

"Do not worry, sir, no one that doesn´t know already will ever find out, i like to think that it will do most ponies here in Manehattan good." Splicer added his opinion.
It was his Suggestion that you went here to delay the escalation for a bit, so here you, him and Hulk were, the latter with three huge gas canisters strapped to him, about to send out a fog laden with relaxants to calm the protesters outside down.

"Remind me again, how is drugging an entire City a good Thing?" 
You have been undecided about this for a while, but Splicer had somehow brought up the better arguments.

"Well, firstly and most importantly it is no drug, we will set out only one canister, it will simply suppress the Feelings of Anger, hatred, Rage, whatever you want to call them they will simply be calmed down, not so much that they forget why they´re angry but enough so that their Anger will not control their Actions. 
Secondly, the substance is not an artificial creation but natural essences that have this effect, it will be processed by the Body within a few hours, while the effects last a few days. there is absolutely no health risk, unless one were to inhale the whole can and even then it would at worst cause a prolonged time of unconsciousness." Splicer elaborated.

"huh, sounds like some pretty neat stuff, the Police would probably like it." Hulk added in.

You looked around the weather factory, the Boilers dutifully brewing up the steam to form clouds, the nightguard sound asleep in his chair, a Little dose of super relaxant to make sure it stood that way, and the schedule was morning mist to deal with the dry weather recently. a perfect opportunity for sure.

"So, theres the Distributor for  fog, pegasi don´t do that manually because it is too thin to be tangible to them. we introduce the gas, throw the Switch and the worst will be prevented for now, did i get that right, splicer?"

"exactly, sir. The Distribution of the super relaxant will turn their righteous fury into mild displeasure, they will ´remain calm for a few days, a week if we are that lucky."

"unless they find out about this, then they will be mad, at us." Hulk adds in.

"he´s got a Point there. somepony will grow suspicious."

"by the time they reach the conclusion the gas will have already dissipated, there will be no Logical Explanation, much less proof of what we did." Splicer did seem pretty sure of this."

You got up to the Distributor, it was already filled and awaiting somepony to press the button in the morning.
"Okay, Hulk, give me one of those tanks."

You placed the tank under the intake and opened it, the pumps of the fog machine pulling the gas in and mingling it into the prepared fog.

"okay, all set, the Saturation will recede during Transport, the relaxant will spread as thin as the fog." Splicer looked at the control Panels.
"a full success."

"I wouldn´t Count on it, Boss, look over there."

You did, and saw the last Pony that you´d want to see you here.

"Good evening, Thunderstorm."
