Kate held the title of Chief of Ordnance. Kate was later transferred to the SHIELD Base Tau/Ce, a class C armory and Communications center. She posied as a receptionist for the firm Knopf and Lilicrap Insurance, which was just a front of SHIELD itself.

When Nick Fury was on the run from artificial life forms that had infiltrated SHIELD, he attempted to enter Tau/Ce. Kate attempted to capture him and his ally, Alexander Goodwin Pierce, hoping for a promotion.

Despite not doing so, Kate was considered a canidate for the Deltites, who wished to replicate her as one of their own. She refused and was imprisoned in the SHIELD orbiting base, along with multiple HYDRA agents and many prominent civilians. Kate was essential in the break out and defeat of Deltite forces and ensuring the civilians were safe.

After SHIELD was disbanded, Kate moved to Nova Scotia to work personally for Nick Fury. When SHIELD was reorganized, she rejoined.
