Following the major incident in the Tokyo Subway, she was informed by Togusa that they suspect the attack came from a cult founded by Hang Song-Kyuk, a North Korean notorious Interpol's Red Notice terrorist.

Addressing the issue at hand, she called up her former senior, Lt.Col. Daisuke Aramaki to assist in founding a specialized unit to further investigate the issue. Aramaki was baffled at the ideas, stated that Section 9 alone could handle the issue, but Motoko insists that she knows someone that had went against him before, and informs that Section 9 is now on the surface (meaning they have been known to certain extent); which left him no option but to came up with a list of suitable candidates.

Later that day, she handpicked 6 personels from the list, and with the help of General Hirashi Hishikimori, founded Team Alpha.
