Ororo Munroe is Twilight Sparkle in xmen red if that makes sense.
Only that she was among the X-Men shown to be a target as he explains his plan. It’s not known at what point he was planning to target her.
It is not seen on panel, but I am presuming she is already turned. It’s odd that she was not shown explicitly being taken out, but it might not just be important to the overall narrative.
I agree that Jean has been taken off the board. If only because I'm certain Cyclops has already been taken off the board, as well. Between suggestion Captain America take the X-gene and the scene of him taking down the rogue Avengers, it pulls my suspension of disbelief too much that he wasn't manipulated. With Scott being Sinister-ized, Jean would have absolutely had to figure something out by then. They have a telepathic rapport.
Also, with the Avengers going nuts, surely she would have used her telepathy then to figure out something was off, right? Captain America killing the president and taking his place? The other Avengers going nuts? I can buy one, but not all without someone being suspicious.
I mean, I read the Sinister data-page feeling it literally confirmed a long-running theory I've had about how most of the omegas, if not all, could eventually become Dominions on their own, and the storyline with Bobby and Sinister in Sina Grace's Iceman run seeded the potential for Sinister to realize this about Bobby, which is why I immediately swerved and am like I am HOPING that the writers leave him out of this entirely and don't think along the same lines, because I don't actually want to see the story where Sinister tries to use a Sinister Iceman to speedrun his way into making a mutant Dominion. And of course, him being my fave, I'm just naturally predisposed towards seeing the potential with his character first, but the implications extend to other characters.
So like, the ideas and groundwork are there, so I do think this could be something Gillen, Ewing and company are building towards with the Storm System, centered around Ororo.

Mother Righteous has stolen the lab and the Moiras. She's also managed to use Nightcrawler's DNA somehow, and those hybrids she's created from that are being trained by Banshee/Spirit of variance/Vox Ignis for an assault on Sinister. Of course she's the Sinister of Hearts too.
I don't think it's confirmed, but they have a strong bond. At any rate, they're living together and talk telepathically often. I would assume Jean would have picked up something at some point.
Many of the players who were first infected tend to be more isolated. Xavier lives alone. Emma lives alone. She may or may not also be seeing Scott, but he's not a telepath. Hope is with the Five, but could obfuscate. It's implied Cable, the one person who I'd trust most likely to find out something is wrong, is Sinister-ized. And for all we know, he could have been taken out by her.
Striking while the iron is hot.
