The entity notices right away. It replaces the mind control, using clusters of shards it didn't have available last time. No soap. Radio- or radio-equivalent message to its partner, saying the sorceress is free and can't be recaptured.

And it appears they have no choice but to go back to the star system they just left, to kill the last human and get rid of the opponent before he gets rid of them. The Warrior sends back Acknowledgment and they both reverse course. Not even trying to be stealthy this time; just trying to outrun the other.


The entity reluctantly attempts to delete the sorceress from existence. They don't need two foes right now.
