While attending an opera house, Cadena and a man named Mark Manly were seized as hostages by the Callisto Liberation Front. The group hoped to force her firm to halt its terraforming of Callisto and spare the planet further ruin.

Cadena inhaled the released spores instead, and the exposure warped her body into a towering tree.
