"That's hard to say. In my experience, she operates largely on self-preservation, which can be useful to us or the opposite--depending on what she considers in her best interests. She comes from a society where a woman can use her sexuality as a bargaining chip, which she implied was what she'd done to get to me--I mean, my counterpart. That doesn't imply she's not competent in her own right, but she's not afraid to use whatever she has.
"She seemed far more interested in sharing in my, or my successor's, power and influence than gaining her own. But who knows? She let us go, but because she wanted to come with us. Which means that she's willing to do harm to get her way, but it's promising that our world was a place she wanted to be. What worries me, Jim, is that she got to Spock. Any idea how that happened?"
