So basically, Luna and Celestia practically commited genocide agains an entire species
So you really have no problem with commiting complete genocide
What does this mean ?
If you'll permit me to be a little philosophical.
Then let us blindely stumble forward, and see what the future has in store for us.

Best guess 'what would Princess Twilight Sparkle do'?

Indeed What Would Princes Twilight Sparkle Do is indeed what it means. And technically it is not Genocide it is Xenocide. Which I would recommend a book series from Orson Scott Card, the first of which is called Ender's Game. Illithids are like the Formics, with a few differences. First is that any pure blooded Iliithid can repopulate the entire race. Their Life cycle does not require sexual reproduction, It does however require living sapient beings that the spawn can burrow into the brains of and consume so that they can achieve adult form and Sapience themselves. This is something that is part of their biology, furthermore pure blood Ilithids consume only one thing, the brains of sapient creatures. In all cases, both in reproduction and in feeding the one being consumed must be both conscious and alive for the Ilithid to either move on in its life cycle and to get any sustenance. Ach'rd'oa being a Half Illithid means that she can both eat other food and can not produce more illithids. However I never said that she couldn't reproduce in other ways, Illithids are natural quite Xenophobic and it took Ach'rd'oa quite a long stay in Tarturus to get over it. She would however not consider any children she could produce in this way part of her race, She would consider them to be part of the race she bred with. Ach'rd'oa herself is a product of a accident of the Illithid life cycle, in other words she was in fact born of a spawn that murdered a sapient, then changed to take over the corpse once the brain was consumed. But it is going to be part of the next chapter so I will not give spoilers on what makes her half illithid as opposed to full. Illithids are bad news and if you find any the only option is to eradicate them, with prejudice, before they enslave, experiment on or eat you. The Illithids themselves will give you no other option, especially since they consider all other races beasts of burden at best and food at worst. Celestia and Luna are giving her a chance, but only if she doesn't seek to raise a race that is so evil that the Far Realms itself, place of madness and evil, forced them to leave.

Yeah i can see why they warrented an extreme reaction from Celestia and Luna.
Also, i hope that you bring up their feelings on the matter of actually commiting xenocide and what they thought and felt while they were doing it, because unlike Ender, they were fully aware of what they were doing.

I do believe it will be something like this:

Oh, next chapter is going to be full of fun times. And yes Twilight Sparkle will try, but remember although she does not bear a grudge she does have a couple of centuries of trauma to get over. In that city, if Ach'rd'oa doesn't want to be found, she honestly won't be. Hell even getting in is going to be impossible. So there will be many uncomfortable times. Oh, Thing about Illithids, heavily Psionic, and Ach'rd'oa is both a skilled Psion and a natural born Sorceror, in short a Cerebramancer. So when the woman wants some alone time she is going to get it. I will probably post her stats when I create them, just so you can all realize how op she actually is going to be. Thing is she will actually be using her powers and abilities very little. This is more going to be about dealing with greif and trauma then it is anything else. More so I am really looking to work on an OC that could be a romantic interest, or if anyone has any cannon character ideas I may go with that too.
I am more interested in how you will explain her being a half-breed since the reproductive cycle of the Illithids doesn't leave room for "mixing", the only reasonable "accident" that I can think of would be something similar to the parasites from the anime Parasyte, in which they take over the host(humans) by replacing the brain but leave the rest of the body untouched, thus not affecting the original reproductive system allowing them to breed normally, the host not a parasite, and give birth to normal human babies.
Also, all those mentions to dreamless sleep dreaming city feel like a reference to Cthulhu Mythos, more specifically to Cthulhu himself and the city of R'lyeh, if the name Ry'll'Ch is anything to go by.

I am drawing from a number of places. Illithids are from D&D, while the dreaming city is both a nod to HP Lovecraft, and a foreshadowing of things to come. I often combine the two whenever I use Illithids within D&D so that is coming through here. The entire thing is my own creation but I always love throwing Easter eggs and odd references into things to see who will get what.
As to your other answer, #@#@##$%$%. I can only blame myself, I gave too much away. The whole process is like Parasyte with the difference being that the host was old enough to not be destroyed by the process of infection, while being young enough to fight off some of it. Since the life cycle conversion happens simultaneously as a physical consumption as well as a viral infection meant, that though her body was not completely converted, her DNA was tainted. Tainted in such a way that would allow passing that taint along to children through childbirth. None of which will ever be capable of producing Illithids to any degree. Such taint past the third generation is recessive but in the first and second is dominant. However, Ach'rd'oa's case is excessively rare, made even more so by the violent Xenophobia of her people. However her great Psionic and Arcane potential, along with the fact that she could not spread her "Taint" any farther, being according to Illithid society sterile, allowed her to survive and even attain a level of power and influence. Does that answer your question?

Indeed it does, and I know what is like to put as many references as you can while you are writing a story especially considering that said references are to the inspirations the first place, I kinda do the same in my stories so I approve.
Not that surprising considering that their society would only consider only the ability to produce more of themselves as breeding so from their point of view she might as well be sterile, in fact, I can see them considering another species developing in her body a tumor that must be removed at best and an incurable disease to which would result in them trying to "put her out of her misery" at worst.
