Biography

On 17 August, Yates was observing the Time Fracture with Dr Errol Courtney whilst Sergeant Robert Dudley made an update to the field log. (WC: 14681 UNIT Field Log)

On 18 August, Yates was monitoring the Time Fracture when Courtney updated the field log on a spike in Chronon and Arton readings. When Yates tried to warn him the readings were increasing again, Courtney tried to dismiss them until the Time Fracture itself spiked out energy. (WC: 14682 UNIT Field Log)

On 19 August, Yates oversaw Dudley's mission to enter the Time Fracture, but was unable to do anything when he disappeared. (WC: 14683 UNIT Field Log) She and Courtney were unable to contact Dudley into the following day, but did receive a message from the Doctor, who gave them a list of people who could volunteer to enter the Time Fracture, codenamed Operation: Time Fracture. Using Jack Harkness's Vortex manipulator, Courtney and Yates were able to blueprint a machine for safer passage into the Time Fracture, and sent their logs to Kate Stewart.
