Branston worked at Pelvanida in 2008. He authorized the testing team to enter Dr. Bruce Tinner's virtual reality machine and when the machine failed, had it decommissioned. (Schrodinger's Prisoners)
===March 2008===
Following the terrorist incident, Branston was promoted to control room assistant, over Dr. Robin Kyle, who was the scheduled replacement. (Survival of the Fittest) Branston used his position to aid Dragonstorm in taking over the base, regularly clearing Lab 101 and forbidding other scientists to run security checks. Riley and Dr. Fenton Bradley attempted to challenge him on this once, but he stone-walled them. (Darwin's Soldiers Drabbles)
Branston evacuated the base along with the rest of Dragonstorm following the successful invasion of James' team. He almost discovered Drs. Rudyard Shelton and Yuri Kerzach rewiring the fusion bomb back at Pelvanida. (Survival of the Fittest)
===Before September 2009===
Dr. Branston was knocked out just like almost everybody else in Lab 101 during Dr. Tinner's experiment to perfect the thought chip and his virtual reality machine. (Nietzsche's Soldiers)
Dr. Branston was the DS Team Organizer, assigned missions, and conducted debriefings. He assigned Dolon to DS-1, and sent them to SORA Gas & Electric to investigate the whereabouts of DS-4. After that mission concluded, he sent them to try and find James' team in Culeston, Oregon. (Nietzsche's Soldiers 2
===September 2009===
During James Zanasiu and his team's assault on Lab 101, Dr. Branston was captureed, but was rescued by DS teams 2, 3, and 5.
