Kate, a corporate operative aligned with Arasaka, collaborates with Douglas to manage covert missions neutralizing threats to the corporation’s interests. In 2076, she spearheads investigations into a rogue netrunner sabotaging Arasaka operatives involved in recovering data fragments tied to the late executive Tanaka. Employing calculated subterfuge, she strategically manipulates Night City’s fixers and mercenaries to further Arasaka’s agenda, including engineering an ambush that coerces Faraday into abandoning Militech to serve Arasaka’s ends. She orchestrates a live trial for Arasaka’s experimental cyberskeleton, deploying Faraday as bait to draw David Martinez’s crew into retrieving the prototype. After David implants the device, Kate observes his subsequent rampage through Night City, intent on securing both the prototype and its host for corporate analysis. When David’s unforeseen endurance destabilizes containment efforts, she enforces extreme measures, summoning Adam Smasher to terminate the threat and prioritize data recovery. Kate’s pragmatism extends to sacrificing allies, framing Douglas to erase traces of Arasaka’s involvement. Her meticulous plans falter when Lucyna Kushinada absconds with vital data, jeopardizing the operation. Despite these setbacks, Kate relentlessly focuses on damage control, upholding corporate supremacy above all personal or collaborative ties.
