It wouldn't be a Romulan story without some good old fashioned power plays. And nobody is more infamous for those than the Romulans and their various spy agencies. If they just focused half the energy they dedicate to trying to undermining each other on actually working together towards a common goal, the Romulans would be a real power to be reckoned with.
Of course they'd also no longer be Romulans.
Great stuff.
