Thei

guarded sardonic diplomatic pragmatic cautious

Thei serves as a Romulan Sub-Commander who stands at Commander Tebok's flank during a tense bridge parley with the Enterprise. She endorses Tebok's account that multiple Romulan border outposts were destroyed in the same mysterious way, presses a cautious, conditional acceptance of Captain Picard's narrow proposal for limited cooperation, and layers Romulan reserve with sardonic wariness. Thei functions as a diplomatic-military intermediary whose guarded conciliation defuses immediate hostilities and redirects the episode toward joint investigation rather than open conflict.
