She's got serious connections at CIRS—the kind that come from knowing where all the bodies are buried, literally and figuratively. During her time there, she apparently picked up dirt on just about everyone, which probably didn't help when the organization went through restructuring and she suddenly found herself out on her ear. Whether that was coincidence or a calculated move to distance her from the fallout is anyone's guess.
The real turning point came when a report highlighted how far behind American and Japanese intelligence services were compared to each other. Instead of dwelling on her dismissal, Sengoku used it as a springboard. She founded SORD (Social Ops, Research & Development) and positioned it as the go-to operation for tactical innovation—basically turning what looked like a career setback into an opportunity to build something better from scratch.
