Nah, you are abducted from Baldur’s Gate, the Nautiloid is attacked over the city of Baldur’s Gate, and then is immediately flees, ending up in the Hells. Very little time passes; the tadpoling is evidently a quick procedure and the Ilithids don’t waste time.
Maybe they captured Karlach and placed a tadpole in her to disrupt their attackers as a Trojan Horse, but things went south and she was able to hide on the ship instead of carrying out her intended task.
