Cadenza overheard. "Janice," she emphasized, "left with the monster lady to fulfill her promise."

I feel like it may be important to state that I haven't yet decided if Vespyr is biologically male or female.  At the moment, it is very difficult to tell from these encounters.  While humanoid, there is nothing of the creature's shape that serves as a giveaway.

Cadenza, as a female, tends to assume people are female. So I'll keep calling Vespyr the monster lady. She can keep company with Aryanna.

"You could say that. She said she'd come back, though. She promised."

"Cadenza, my orders were clear. Maddy and I are to neutralize Trace, and we can't afford to fail. You tell me that she "promised" to come back, how can I know this? Do you even know where she's going?"

"She's not Trace any more. She's Janice. And she's going back to her 'Queen' because of a stupid promise Trace made," Cadenza groused.

“No.” Maddy said. “Colonel, I saw Janice after the battle. Trace was gone. I don’t know exactly how that works... but I won’t do anything to that girl.”

"What you're telling me is that you let a highly dangerous criminal who's responsible for an undetermined but high amount of deaths walk away to meet with some 'Queen?'" The colonel stepped towards Cadenza, using his height to loom over her, "I don't know how they do things where you come from, but would have never let her walk away." The colonel, once indifferent towards Cadenza, if not friendly, began to glare at her. "If you were one of my troops, then I wou-"

Executive decision that Maddy interrupted Tulcam.

The colonel stopped mid sentence and heard Maddy out. He took a breath, "can you swear to me upon everything that you hold dear that Trace, now this 'Janice,' won't only come back, but also won't kill anyone else? Can you swear to me that she is not Trace anymore, whatever that mean, on your very life?" The colonel aimed his last question at Cadenza.

Born human.  Twisted through torture, training, nectar, and addiction into a soulless killing machine.  Nectar has corrupted Vespyr, sort of like direct contact with a Quoral can.

Vespyr was supposed to stay quiet.  The task was finished.  It... it didn't matter.

"Who are you to the Queen?"  Vespyr asked, slowly, as if... as if not just speaking as a tool, like every time before, "Why... Why are you important?"

"I'm not sure." Janice shook her head. "I really don't know. I... I wish I did."

Timeskip?

Timeskip works.  I think we’d need Null, though, to play the queen.

Shidala looked at everyone. “So, what are we going to do now?” She asked trying to have a nice voice. Normally, she would ignore those humans, but the Shadow told her to go back.

“Yes. Not very good though. We were sailing here together for a couple of weeks. I suppose you know him too.”

"Trace was inside her. If Trace does take over - which is unlikely - she'll come after me first. So either way you'll be fine."

"It's not me I'm worried about, it's everyone caught between you and her. If you forgot, she and her friend caused a lot of death and destruction.

He rather ungracefully changed the subject, "hold on, where is Trace's friend?"

The colonel referenced a report from his device. "The reports say that there were two."

"Cruz is over there. Janice asked him to 'look after me.'" Cadenza made a face. "I don't know where Lloyd went."
