Picard obviously can't FIGHT against this SECRET ROMULAN organization all alone. If it wasn't for the ROMULAN woman who works for him he'd be dead. If it wasn't for the ELNOR who CHOPS off the HEAD of the other guy he'd be dead. If it wasn't for 7 of 9 he'd be dead.
So meeting these other NUNS is most likely because at some point the situation is going to ESCALATE to where he'll need an ARMY to protect him.
But before that can happen he needs to GATHER ONE together.
And that's what he's doing now … going around gathering up people to HELP and SUPPORT him in his MISSION to find MADDOX and SOJI.
Plus PICARD also has NO IDEA where to find SOJI because he also doesn't know where she's located.
But once he finds MADDOX that issue will most likely also be solved.
But by then the LT. who keeps bugging her brother to find out what she wants to know from SOJI may also have KIDNAPPED her and taken her to some kind of TORTURE chamber in another different location.
Unless SOJI's SELF DEFENSE MECHANISM KICKS IN (like it did for DAHJ when she was attacked) and DESTROYS the entire BORG CUBE???
In that case, there also might not be a CUBE left to find if and when PICARD ever shows up at the place where it's located.
really want to know why the Romulans are so deeply against synthetic life.
My guess would also be the ROMULANS are ANTI SYNTH because their own origins indicate that they themselves were also CREATED by MACHINES or else they also use to be MACHINES.
And that would also explain the reason why their COUSINS (the VULCANS) are so IN FAVOR of LOGIC and are so dead set against EMOTIONS.
Because being ANTI EMOTION also makes them kind of like DATA (who also had trouble understanding them).
So that could also explain why the ROMULANS HATE the SYNTHS who would also be like HOLDING UP a MIRROR for them to GAZE INTO and not liking what they see.
Or it could also mean they REALIZE the SYNTHS are a MORE ADVANCED SPECIES of BEING than they are themselves and they don't want to be a 2ND BEST SPECIES of being.
In "THUS SPOKE ZARATHUSTRA", NIETZSCHE's character explains it this way:
As APE is to MAN, so shall MAN be to the OVER MAN.
In other words, SOJI would be an "OVER WOMAN" or be a HIGHER form of BEING than the ROMULANS (who would also be inferior to her or would be like the APES are to the HUMANS).
And the ROMULANS probably also don't want to be REDUCED to having an APE LIKE STATUS.

I get that Picard needs a crew. He could do his gathering a bit faster though.
I was thinking more along the lines of Romulus being invaded by synthetic life forms thousands of years ago. Or maybe an attempted takeover by AIs of their own making. Some traumatic event that spawned a society, Zhat Vash, dedicated to making sure it never happens again.
We're waiting to see if Narek really is in love with Soji. At some point he could decide to tell her everything and flee together, with his sister in pursuit. Presumably Maddox will have a means to locate her and Picard will fly off to her rescue. Or Narek could remain true to the cause and turn Soji over for interrogation. It's still up in the air - but I wish that storyline would move along more quickly as well!
What's with the randomly capitalized words by the way? Is that you, Mr. Trump? 😎
