What if the Shard Queen Administrator had grander intentions than letting Contessa kill her host? Hoping to take control over the Shard Network and the Endbringers, bringing them into better symbiosis with humanity using Khepri as a prototype of what is possible, Queen Administrator employs the help of many Shards to go back in time. Unfortunately for Taylor, there is only so much Queen Administrator can do to provide help even with her future knowledge. The directives and Zion's crippling restrict what she can do, and so, after much calculation, Queen Administrator comes to the conclusion that the only way to save Taylor is to make her suffer more. Then and only then can she give Taylor the power she needs.
The adage is true: being Taylor is suffering.
