In *Guardians of the Galaxy*, Ronan sends Gamora to intercept Peter Quill on his way to the Broker.

![Ronan bids Gamora retrieve the Orb][1]

But, some time earlier, Gamora had accepted the same mission from the Collector. (This occurs in the MCU canon ["Guardians Of The Galaxy Prequel Infinite Comic."][2])

![Taneleer Tivan bids Gamora retrieve the Orb][3]

When she accepted that mission, she even said, "I do not trust you, Tivan, but I trust Ronan even less. I will obtain the Orb. And you will keep it safe." Why did Gamora apparently disregard her mission from the Collector, wait around for a while, and then only go after the Orb once Ronan sent her to intercept Quill?

What is going on here?
