Nothing before him reduces the urgency in the slightest. Nothing says you don't have to handle this asap but him.
Rather, the longer you go (before meeting him) the level to which you are in immenent danger grows. Not shrinks, grows. The threat to you is bigger and bigger because more and more time has passed pushing you closer and closer to the point when you'll turn, and since you're already past the standard deadline there's no way of knowing when that point is, which for all intents and purposes means it's in two minutes.
The problem is not reduced, in any capacity, until it is solved entirely.
And yet those of us who choose to play in character and buy into the urgency are punished for it in the various ways this thread has covered.

I never said you weren't in danger, but you are not, in imminent danger of turning into an illithid, that much is made clear to you as the story progresses.
