To start the “Vanquishing the Vexing Vapors” side quest, you first need to complete “An Aegis Against the Miasma.” Once that’s done, Chief Deviser Delphinia Bryant will send you over to Marshal Donelson. Head to the marshal’s office and talk to him. He’ll explain that you’ll need to use the Gas-Energy Deflection Apparatus to get inside the repair hangar and reach the control terminal that’s causing the zyranium leak. After the conversation, leave the room and follow the quest marker to the southwest to continue the Vanquishing the Vexing Vapours quest.

You’ll need to fix a dangerous Zyranium gas leak inside the Primary Repair Hangar. The air here is toxic, so you’ll rely on your Gas-Energy Deflection Apparatus to stay alive while working. However, the shield only lasts for a short time or until it takes too much damage, so you’ll have to move quickly.
