However, he was called away to go on a mission with the rest of the team, without having finished explaining everything to Maxie. Feeling superfluous and unwanted, Maxie began digging into the computer's archives to see if she could make herself useful. After reading through a lot of past case files, she discovered the records of the case currently in progress, a case of aliens who had hacked into [[MI6|the Secret Services]]' systems with [[malware]] and were blackmailing them. She effortlessly bypassed the malicious software and programmed new protections for the systems, phoning Giles even as he was meeting the aliens to tell her what she had achieved. Realising that he felt as though he'd been patronising her, Giles invited her to an expensive [[restaurant]] in London to make her feel more respected as a coworker. In turn, she assured him that she realised not every case would be so easy.

Eventually, she moved into a room at P.R.O.B.E. HQ ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Out of the Box (short story)}}) and began cataloguing alien artefacts in her office. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Door We Forgot (short story)}}) Shortly after arriving on Earth, Maxie spent some time browsing the human [[Internet]]. [[Giles]] also took it upon himself to introduce her to various Earth media, including the movie ''[[Aladdin (film)|Aladdin]]'' and [[The Wizard of Oz|another movie]] which ended with the [[Wicked Witch of the West]] melting.

After initial friction with [[Agamya Akhtar]], Giles also explained human [[religion]]s to Maxie, who was left rather confused by humans' worship of various contradictory deities whose existence was not a physically-proven fact, in contrast to Gendar's "gods", the [[Time Lord|Sun Builders]], whose existence was a historical certainty whether one wanted to worship them or not. However, she slowly came around to better understanding human spirituality.

On [[14 February]] [[2019]] Maxie was able to create a concoction to counteract the effect that [[Stacey Facade]] had on Giles. ([[WC]]: {{cs|Stacey Facade (webcast)|Stacey Facade}}) A few months later, Giles asked discreetly for Maxie's help finding out information on the daughter of [[Sandra King|Sandra]] and [[Harry King]]. Maxie dutifully told him about the basics of [[Harriet King|the girl]]'s identity, but made it clear that she had readily guessed that Sandra was Giles's estrange sister and Harriet was therefore his niece. The two also discovered that Harriet's boyfriend [[Jonathan (Broken Bonds)|Jonathan]] coincidentally had ties to [[Beltane (organisation)|Beltane]], an organisation that P.R.O.B.E. had been investigating.

On [[9 May]] [[2019]], the P.R.O.B.E. team investigated reports of a [[ghost]] at the [[London Palladium]], which turned out to have been temporal visions transmitted by an [[Artari]] [[Time Projector]]. As Maxie deactivated and packed up the device, she caught a glimpse of one of the [[Shadow People (Shadow People)|Shadow People]]; she was initially frightened, and this was her first time encountering the beings, she had not been there a month prior on a mission when the others had seen a large crowd of them at [[St Thomas's Chapel]]. However, by the time they returned to [[P.R.O.B.E. HQ|the office]], Maxie had developed a theory that the Shadow People were essentially harmless "stalkers" peeking through from [[Shadow People's dimension|another dimension]].
