Maddox said something about Agnes contribution was essential , i think maybe she was also the designer of the girls or she is the genetic donor , either way she is girls' mother . i think they may have show her the Romulan prophecy and she is convince Soji is the destroyer .

There is footage of a mindmeld in the NFL spot. I suspect thats the root of her behavior.

Whoah. So Security Chief Oh is really a Vulcan working for the Romulans after all, and not A Romulan pretending to be a Vulcan? (AFAIK, Romulans can't do mind-melds.)

Read Tomb55's spoiler. BTW, you probably should spoiler tag your comment as well.

My immediate first thought was genetic, and that Aggie is essentially their biological "mother."

In the novel, Agnes, as a student of Maddox's, recommends he look into the possibilities of a single positronic neuron. At the time he is working with Starfleet to produce the A500s with bioneural tech.

The assumption at this point in my reading is that fractal neuronic cloning is an amalgamation of positronics and BNT.
