Before the start of the series.  There was no time shown or mention
made in-show of her being anywhere else since she arrived on the
station at the beginning of "Midnight on the Firing Line".

Ironheart didn't pick it up because he never scanned her.

The Corps never picked up what Ironheart did for her because he gave it
to her in a shielded form, as covered in "A Race Through Dark Places".
