She is the Administrator's loyal assistant, who helps and hires the mercenaries, and takes care of tasks such as ordering supplies, running communications, disposing of enemy corpses, and doing background checks. Like her colleagues, she can be heroic and compassionate at times.

After the deaths of Redmond and Blutarch Mann, the mercenaries lose their jobs. However, when Gray Mann's Machines attack, Pauling encourages the mercs to return to battle the robots and make money again. Pauling and Soldier infiltrate Gray Mann's base and steal intelligence.
