probes (more commonly known as anal probes) originated from a documentary based on future events. Aliens documented an entire
war between our race and two others. They came to earth a few years ago and gave that information to someone that happened to work in blizzard. Being the evil bastard that the guy is he got it turned into a computer game and made some
heavy bling bling off of it. The probe used to be the invisible
unit that flew around and didnt attack but the basic building
unit stole his name cause they didnt like bob the builder as a name. the
ex-probes soon later adopted the name "observer". after the
government seen how useful the enemy technology was to the enemy they have yet not met, they stole it and probed through the galaxy. Some mad scientist name pimp daddy stole the technology and now flies through peoples asses fo fun
w it.
