Hiroko would know about anything secret going on. Especially something having to do with ecological systems. The bioengineering group works with her most of the time, after all, and for some of them she’s like a guru, they almost worship her.
There's a lot of foreshadowing about Hiroko breaking off or starting a cult, but we don't really see much of what that actually looks like. It's a little frustrating.
