The narrative assertion
"Spock resolves to continue his efforts toward Romulan reunification to figure out ulterior motives (beat_50b060988d4d9f3c) leading directly to the need for Data penetrating the Romulan Information Net (beat_6ae6601d4d39116b), so that Spock can figure out the ulterior motives."
