 * For my P.R.O.B.E. timeline, see here

1990s
Louise had read about a similar species to the Cyberons who had attempted invaded Earth several times in the P.R.O.B.E. Archive. (PROSE: The Last Dose)

Haggard acquired the Vault for P.R.O.B.E.'s use after the contents were moved to another facility nearby. (PROSE: A Worthy Successor)

2000s
In 2000, P.R.O.B.E. eradicated a computer virus that had removed all the vowels from every electronic device on the planet, (PROSE: The Last Dose) which had been released by the Cybermen. (PROSE: Vrs) Louise Bayliss knew that the groups from Geneva or Canary Wharf were "nowhere to be seen". (PROSE: The Last Dose)

One damaged Cyberon arrived in the year 2000 and began converting certain doctors, for them to begin conducting "tests" in order to get the public to accept Cyberon as a miracule cure for afflictions such as dementia, as a means to ensure the survival of the Cyberons by mass conversion. It failed at the hands of Lauren Anderson who fought back against Tom Mordley, one of the lead doctors behind the drug. After Lauren had believed she had killed Tom and turned herself in at a police station, (PROSE: Cyberon) her claims that Cyberon was alien caught the attention of P.R.O.B.E.; shortly after, Patricia Haggard requested the help of Louise Bayliss, who had transferred from P.R.O.B.E. to the Home Office five years prior at the request of Sir Andrew Williams. Patricia sent Louise to a PKD facility to oversee the containment of the drug so the teams from Geneva and Canary Wharf didn't butcher anything.

At the facility in the outskirts of London, Louise encountered Tom, who had been restored to life after Lauren killed him. Tom had broken into the facility to retrieve more batches of the Cyberon drug in order to keep the spread going, and Louise followed Tom into an unsecured part of the facility, where she witnessed Tom kill Albert, the first to have taken the Cyberon drug, as he had stopped taking said drug. Tom began speaking to the original Cyberon, who then commanded Tom to kill Louise, but as Tom went to kill her, he was repelled by Louise's gold necklace. She used this to drive the Cyberon from out of Tom, as it interfered with the Cyberon's connection to his nervous system. In his freedom, he destroyed the original Cyberon, although Tom then succumbed to the trauma he had endured and died.

The remaining batches of the drug where then secured and transported to the Vault in Northumberland by UN soldiers, under Louise's guidence. Louise returned to Ashley House, where Patricia informed her of Tom's upcoming funeral and the cover story that he was a con man. Louise asked if there was a chance she could return to P.R.O.B.E., but Patricia told her that Sir Andrew would object, not to mention P.R.O.B.E. barely even had the budget to keep their other member. Louise then travelled to Lauren Anderson's flat, where she told Lauren of the heroism performed by Tom in his last minutes, and to assure Lauren she is a good person and should return to her job as a doctor. (PROSE: The Last Dose)

P.R.O.B.E. was present for the funeral of Tom, where he was entombed in a golden coffin which was sealed in the ground with concrete, and they introduced themselves to Sarah and Brittany Mordley. (PROSE: Silver-Tongued Liars)

In 2008, P.R.O.B.E. detected that Cyberon was activated in Philadelphia. Patricia immediately flew over, to find that Brittany Mordley had taken the drug and was preparing to jump off a building, as she felt that perhaps all the lies told about her uncle were true, and that she had so much damage after being affected by the drug she couldn't go home — so neither could the Cyberon. Patricia began convincing her not to jump, but Brittany got angry at her, for all the lies told about her uncle. Patricia reasoned that, while she had been right to believe in her uncle, now she had taken the drug, it wasn't everything that had been dreamed of. While the Cyberon tried to tell Brittany to not to listen to Patricia, Brittany let it fade away. (PROSE: Silver-Tongued Liars)

In 2009, Patricia, Patricia's partner, and Giles flew out to Philadelphia to reunite with Brittany. They talked as they went into a local branch of Wawa, about how Brittany was doing in school, how her mother was, and if she still has the abilities the Cyberon gave her. Indeed, she did. (PROSE: Silver-Tongued Liars)

2010s
In March 2011, Giles and Archie were sent to investigate two deaths in the Vault by Patsy. The security guard summoned Director Vanessa Hardcastle, who tried to stall, but Giles and Archie insisted on conducting the inspection immediately. She took them to one of the warehouses, where she explained that the deaths were accidental. She then took them to the cold storage, telling them about a little girl, Abigail, who was a werewolf, showing them the body, and then she took them to head scientist Miles Werbiansky, who gives Giles the inventory of the site. After spotting Cyberon on the list, Vanessa and Miles took the duo to the low-risk storage, only to find that the containers of the Cyberon are compromised, and that the Cyberon has leaked out. The Cyberon goes to the cold storage, inhabiting Abigail, not knowing of her lupine nature. It becomes a cyberwolf hybrid, and goes rampant in the site. Giles eventually manages to convince the Cyberon inside to shut itself down as the mutations from the werewolf DNA pose a risk to the survival of Cyberon. (PROSE: A Worthy Successor)

In June 2014, (PROSE: A Worthy Successor) Liz and Patricia (HOMEVID: When to Die) want to retire to Spain, so a new P.R.O.B.E. director needs to be chosen, preferably not by Defence Secretary who'd chose someone who'd shut P.R.O.B.E. down. In incumbent wants to appoint Giles, so she gets him to recount a story of his leadership, the Cyberon incident at the Vault a few year prior. After he finishes, she tells Giles he's got the job, and that Sir Andrew will be the new P.R.O.B.E. liaison, and Giles wonders if her can get him to agree recruit more members. (PROSE: A Worthy Successor)

Giles went on holiday, though it was interrupted by a shooting star, which Giles went to investigate. At the impact site, he soon discovered the object was actually a spaceship, with a refugee Gendar pilot, Maxiassa. She and Giles fleed the site in his car when an aggressor, Mar'tuth, came to attempt to kill Maxiassa. As Mar'tuth could destroy things with its "glitches", and was repulsed by Maxiassa's compact mirror, he drove to Homestyle with the aggressor in pursuit, to the aisle filled with mirrors. Giles and Maxiassa trapped Mar'tuth with mirrors, and when it tried to escape, the mirrors deflected its glitches back onto itelf, destroying it. (PROSE: She Came From Another World!)

Two months later, Giles took Maxiassa (now going by Maxine) to Sir Andrew Williams, so she could gain asylum. He granted it, so long as she agreed to Giles's terms, that she has to work for P.R.O.B.E., after Maxine told him why she left her home planet. Later, at her apartment, Giles arrived, and got her to repair a trio-regulator, which while impossible for humans, was easy for a Gendar. Convinced of Maxine's abilities, he gave her his old job, P.R.O.B.E.'s technician. (PROSE: She Came From Another World!)

Giles recorded a case file wherein he spoke about his five years leading P.R.O.B.E.—and five years recording case files—, about the coming threat of the perihelion, as dark forces were gathering, and he knew it was all linked. He expressed his concerns over the team, how Tasha continued to get along with the other members, how Maxie was still getting used to life on Earth, how Agamya refuses to speak to Giles about her worries, how Az is still new and untrained, and he resolves to not fail them, nor lose them, like he did with Archie. He told himself to have faith in himself, like Haggard did when she put him in charge, that P.R.O.B.E. can handle anything, so long as they're funded, and that he needs to get P.R.O.B.E. ready.

Budget

 * This information will be added to budget

P.R.O.B.E. infamously had a low budget.

When Louise Bayliss informed two soldiers that she was with P.R.O.B.E., they mocked her. Silently, she knew that while P.R.O.B.E. wasn't the best funded, she knew that the organisation still "[did] their part". Later, after Louise asked Patricia Haggard if there was any chance she could return to P.R.O.B.E. on a permanent basis, Patricia politely told her no, as P.R.O.B.E. didn't have the budget to keep the "one we have", as well as Sir Andrew Williams inevitably objecting. (PROSE: The Last Dose)

Case files

 * This information will be added to case file

In 2014, there were P.R.O.B.E. case files stored in the P.R.O.B.E. Archive. Giles saw them when he was in the archive, when an interviewer put him P.R.O.B.E. director. (PROSE: A Worthy Successor) Giles continued to record case files for te next five years, and in 2019 he made one where he spoke of his concerns about his fellow P.R.O.B.E. members and the coming perihelion.
