@Crimson - Getting Cortex into the fold that way would be good. Since Crtex is extremely celebral, he isn't interested in romance, and as charming as he can be, as a Psiteon his empathy is pretty much nihil. Though he would attempt to rescue her, Cortex would be ultimately willing to accept Shequey's death if it serves a greater goal - that goal being the revival of the Vermillion Syndicate.

The only way for Durrandon to get Cortex on his side is to taunt him into attacking him using Shequey as bait, let Cortex' forces briefly cripple the ICO (anything less and Cortex could grow suspicious), corner him, and convince him that the best way to realise Fenric's dream is to strike an alliance with him.
