	In 2006, while in {{Wiki\|Berkeley}}, Sofia met [[Layla Hassan]] and was so impressed by her that Sofia recruited her into Abstergo's [[Young Innovators program]].

	By 2014,<ref name="~~ACO~~" /> Sofia was put in charge of the Abstergo Foundation Rehabilitation Center in Madrid, where she studied violence and tried to find a cure for it through the Animus.<ref name="ACMovie" />		By 2014,<ref name="Wrong way">''[[Assassin's Creed: Origins]]'' – [[Layla Hassan's emails]]: "You're looking at it the wrong way"</ref> Sofia was put in charge of the Abstergo Foundation Rehabilitation Center in Madrid, where she studied violence and tried to find a cure for it through the Animus.<ref name="ACMovie" />

	In February 2014, Sofia sent the Animus 4.3 schematics to Layla, asking for her advice on how to improve the new model. Layla suggested to add an inverted six-axis motion rig, suspending the subjects connected to the device in mid-air and allowing them to move freely while experiencing the memories of their ancestors.<ref name="~~ACO~~" />		In February 2014, Sofia sent the Animus 4.3 schematics to Layla, asking for her advice on how to improve the new model.

	During the following two years, Layla kept sending emails to Sofia asking her to join her team in Madrid and work on the new Animus, but the latter didn't answer back. On August 31, 2016, Sofia Rikkin finally sent an email to Layla, asking her former protegee to stop trying to contact her. Sofia told Layla that even if she was brilliant, her Abstergo record showed that she was too unpredictable and transgressive to join the Animus Project because she couldn't be trusted to follow rules.<ref name="~~ACO~~" />		During the following two years, Layla kept sending emails to Sofia asking her to join her team in Madrid and work on the new Animus, but the latter didn't answer back.
