Katy is a shy person; this is often at odds with how confident she is when she's in her element.  In social situations she tends to be quiet and retiring.  In order to become aquainted with her, a person generally has to seek her out.  Once the ice is broken, Katy is a very engaging person in small groups.</p>

Katy's office is on deck 512, the same deck as one of the main security offices, near the main brig.  It is still sparsely-furnished and has three doors - a door to the corridor outside, a door to the adjoining security office, and (most vital of all, in Katy's thinking) a door to a small private lavatory.  The second door she often keeps in open position, just to facilitate interaction with the other security officers on duty.

Her quarters are a cozy one-bedroom apartment on deck 905, which doesn't really look lived-in yet.  She's too used to living out of a rucksack to have filled it with much stuff yet.  Due to not being home very often, it's fairly messy, with discarded laundry lying about randomly.  Her kitchen, however, is spotless, due to its state of pretty-much-never-being-used.

Katy has a device implanted in her body (a small crystalline gadget of nonhuman technology which is attached to the fascia of her abdominal wall and somehow hides itself from medical scans) which separates her from the psionic field and thusly makes telepathic contact of any sort impossible with her.
