the Guild could have decided that Inara needed a lesson but was still “salvageable.”
Possible. Quite Possible.
It is fun to try and speculate.
My mind tends to wander towards a personal conflict with a higher up. This would explain her not trashing the guild but still feeling a need to leave the house and go out towards the rim.
It could also be a shift in guild politics. She firmly believes in her profession and the guild system AS SHE WAS TAUGHT, but might not like new policies and practices being implemented.
As for my assassin idea and how that could work...there are many organizations where what the average follower is taught and believes is only one fraction of the organization's practices. You may strongly believe in and be perfectly willing to do what is asked when you are a rank and file member. But there also exists an inner circle that has a different set of practices beyond the initial teachings (Scientology anyone?). It isn't until you are "in" that you would even see that this inner circle exists.
So here is Inara, believing in her skills, loving her job and proud of her accomplishments, and she makes it to a high enough level where she is contacted for possible recruitment to the inner circle. She doesn't like what she is shown one bit, but still believes what she had initially learned and is practicing. So she hops on a Firefly class shuttle and heads toward the black leaving the house behind.
Another thing just hit me. It was mentioned SEVERAL TIMES that companions CHOOSE their clients. What if someone was trying to nudge her to "choose" someone she would not choose on her own? That element of choice seemed to be emphasized. Someone with power over her in the guild may have wanted her to use her charms on a very disagreable individual. Hummmmmm
DAMN YOU JOSS! The show has been cancelled for HOW long and he is STILL messing with my mind!!!!

I think that there was some sort of personality conflict or implication of some sort of scandal (she could be innocent but still need to leave for things to cool off) in Inara's decision to leave Shinon.
Or it could just be the Alliance wanting to spread "civilization" to the Border and Rim planets by asking the Guild to send some of it's best and brightest. That would also help the Federal officers, politicos, newly rich of the Border and Rim area show their influence and power by arranging to have Companions at parties etc.
Just my two cents.

I gave up pondering years ago. Except why everyone settles for less.
In from the black. Small footprint.
