International Rescue is based in Tracy Island in the South Pacific, and the organisations craft are kept in total secrecy in underground hangers, each launching in their own ingenious way. A high powered radar system also warns the islands inhabitants of any potential snoopers.

She seems to foster the image of a wealthy socialite but is in fact an invaluable member of the team.
