Chapter 169, Lucy and Kate, Part 1
General job: Introduce Lucy / Kate through investigation, justice, and civic gray areas.
Connects from 168: The city now has stronger docks and contact routes, making investigation and security questions sharper.
Core movement: Open near encounter, then return to their Day Zero: old life, collapse, first attempts, road logic, and the path toward the city.
Must carry: Distinct voice and purpose. They should widen justice, not copy Emma / Kate Beckett.
Must not do: Do not flatten them into “more security women.” Give them their own emotional and professional color.
Hands to next chapter: They reach the city / gate encounter.
