* Part 6: Fragments

### Part I - Square One:

The birth of the SMP. ToaLegend asked ToughGimbo to spearhead the creation and maintenance of the server to which he still does to this day. He then appointed his original moderators to set up the server for an unknown time until it was eventually launched. They outlawed the End, thunderstorms and mob griefing to prevent unwanted destruction and server lag. Chariti worked hard on spawn and was eventually offered help by Bronto. Bronto with old knowledge on using WorldEdit gladly helped out Chariti and sped up the creation of spawn and the surrounding areas. Once launched, it’s traffic increased significantly for its first few weeks, with activity being somewhat consistent to this day.

### Part II - Settling In:

Within those first few weeks, a few interesting things happened. A massive explosion decimated a local mountainside, somewhere south of spawn. Construction of housing began around the server as OG members of the first SMP like Mainten, ShadiKid, LudanLeaf, Random\_Sque and others arrived. A second detonation destroyed another nearby cavern, which became the first burial site for Trixster until his eventual return. Teams began to form like Cookie Team, NASA, BiTCH (being one of the first), and the Bingus Republic as members like OwlPlayzz, CookieCommando, Yeledical and IsThisDez made their landing. Then Bingo aka Gunslinger arrived and began designing and constructing what is now known as The M.A.L.L. right outside of spawn. This was accomplished with the help of members Lu, Shadi and various contractors that Shadi hired to gather resources. For a brief time, an omnipotent DaBaby inhabited the server and became feared throughout the community with his judgment as his catchphrase “Let’sss Goooo” would echo through voice chat. Then, as swift as he came, DaBaby disappeared. Things started to quiet down in the SMP.

### Part III - Chaos Ensues:

After a mid-sized hiatus, Trixster returned. Much to his bewilderment, he was in creative mode but he was not a moderator and could not remove himself from it. Trixster roamed around the server to find The M.A.L.L. construction newly finished, with shops just starting to appear in it as well as a curious boombox in the middle. Random\_sque had begun a mysterious construction of a massive build in the middle-reaches of the server, more and more portals appeared in the Nether. Soon, Bingo and Random explored Bastions on a quest for Pigstep. People of the likes of Bronto, Chariti and Mainten began domestic lives with the building of their homes and people like NomNom became nomads, traveling to the far reaches of the server. Trixster, being the crafty man that he is, decided to have some fun with his newfound power, or rather curse, as he had access to the creative inventory. He filled his own inventory with shulker boxes and dispersed them around the server as seen in the “I Became An Illegal Shulker Dealer on the Toa SMP” video on Trix’s YT channel. Hilarity and chaos ensued as most members of the server that were active at the time decided to dispose of their counterfeit items, and it was all a good laugh. But, this stunt would lead to Toa’s return.

### Part IV - Judgement:

On the day of Nibble’s Birthday, 1/22/33, ToaLegend returned to the SMP for the first time since before it’s launch to enlist the members of the server to build a statue of Nibble west of spawn. This happened to lead to Toa seeing Trixster’s video and watching it on stream. Toa, being the overarching presence that he is, became judge, jury and executioner for Trixster and his conspirators as what he did was technically illegal. Leading up to the day of the stream, most members of the SMP had settled in and had been gearing up. Teams grew and new ones had formed like SANS+, N.A.S.A. 's size had grown as members like Zilverwolf, SilverStorm, and ShadiKid joined its ranks. Random\_sque had plans for his team as his build from before began to wrap up as he moved on to his next project. Cookie and his affiliate Joost also had plans as they moved East of spawn to begin on a project. New resource packs had been added to the server like night skip, gravestones and death counters. Hand-built graves began popping up all over as Mainten was determined to keep her record as the most deaths on the server, her current total being well in the hundreds. Toa, with the beginnings of *Übersehen* echoing through his stream, confined Trixster to be locked away in baby-jail for a week along with his conspirator Gimbo. This meant for one week, Trixster was trapped in the nether. (This led to Toa being banned from the server for a small bit since Gimbo is the owner but it was mostly a gag) AgentBronto and Bingo were hard at work building the Nibble Statue as Toa oversaw progress and roamed the server. Players crowded around Nibble as it slowly came to life. Wrapping up for the night after despawning 2 withers, a mediocre reconstruction of Nibble, Toa signed off and has not returned since.

### Part V - Retribution:

Trixster was locked away, trapped in purgatory. AgentBronto decided to accelerate his suffering by beginning construction on the DOOM Parkour Course, Bingo coming in to wrap up helping build the second half of the parkour course. Trixster spent most of his week attempting to beat the course, which he never succeeded at. Currently, only AgentBronto and Dez have beaten the parkour course as it is insanely difficult. Dez was awarded 8 Diamond blocks and one legal item of his choice for beating DOOM. Meanwhile, in the Overworld, Bronto had begun construction on his summer retirement home, Mainten living as a neighbor. Cookie and Joost began building Cookie Kingdom, a massive plot of land that outshines spawn and even The M.A.L.L. Random and his N.A.S.A. crew had built the foundation of the N.A.S.A. HQ, and started fulfilling missions. Now it might seem impressive that Mainten has the most deaths. But, only a few people have 0 deaths. One of the most prominent being the leader of Cookie Team, builder of Cookie Kingdom, CookieCommando. Random, members of N.A.S.A., Bronto and a few mercenaries Random hired formed a Black Ops strike team to hunt down Cookie. Despite all odds, Cookie was able to avoid being slaughtered even with being on consistently. After an exchange with Bronto, they all agreed to leave Cookie alone and hunting him is outlawed on the server. Cookie will forever be a legend in that respect and keep his record unless he dies by his own hand. After Trixster’s release from hell, he decided he had bigger plans for his retribution. What that is exactly is still unknown.

### Part VI - Fragments:

Due to the immense support for lore related things like leitmotifs, the lore was established and cemented during Part V and many players have been joining and being more active. Bitter has been streaming his experience on the SMP, Tiscut arrived to shake things up with his signature AK, glasses and building up a drug empire, Gimbo returned to begin his journey on the SMP and has been consistently streaming, and Bingo has disappeared mysteriously. As Gimbo begins his journey on the SMP, the wheels have finally started to turn.

### Part I - Familiarizing:

As Gimbo began his journey along the SMP, making a name for himself, he began to document his journey through a video retelling called "The Chronicles." Gimbo first found himself wandering onto Tiscut's property, which also happens to be where he runs his drug empire. Gimbo quickly hit it off with Tiscut, as after Tiscut brought Gimbo to his office, he ended up showing Gimbo his storehouse shortly after. Gimbo noticed Bronto was there, snorting cocaine off of Tiscut's supply while also packaging the drug. Tiscut told Gimbo about the teams around the server, and how NASA was the largest and needed to be overthrown. Gimbo, cautious but intrigued accepted the offer to become a mole in NASA for Tiscut, to discover their inner workings. Gimbo left the drug site, off on his journey to find NASA.

After finally arriving at their base of operation, Gimbo bumped into RandomSque, as Random had heard Gimbo expressed interest in joining NASA. Random decided to evaluate Gimbo's worthiness of being a member of NASA, as he regaled the history of the team and what've they done on and for the server. After a tour of Athena II, Gimbo's curiosity again got the better of him as he inquired about the rumored strike team of NASA, called BlackOps. Random, confused as to how Gimbo would know about that, denied it at first but eventually asked Gimbo who told him. Gimbo was hesitant, but Random assured no harm would come to whoever informed Gimbo about BlackOps. Reluctantly, Gimbo revealed that Trixster was the one who told him about BlackOps to which Random only nodded. Random then granted Gimbo ranking within NASA, and Gimbo decided that he would be on his way. On his way back home, through the Nether Highway, Gimbo encountered a strange figure...

It is revealed the Bronto has been lending Gimbo a place of residence with him for the time being as Bronto calls Gimbo back to the house one day. Gimbo, who was going about his daily business, grudgingly made his way back to Bronto's home. Bronto then informed Gimbo that a new bank had opened on the server, and Bronto indeed to rob it. He enlisted the help of Gimbo who was obviously confused, but Gimbo went along with it anyway. They quickly made their way to the Acorn Reserves, run by NomNom, and held a confused but somewhat delighted NomNom hostage. Gimbo broke into the vault and found all the valuables to be, acorns. It wasn't until Gimbo check the waste disposal that he found currency. Gimbo and Bronto made a break for it, and an exhausted Gimbo went to bed upon arriving home.

A sudden jolt woke Gimbo from his sleep, most likely his recurring nightmare. Bronto, who was in the house, checked in on Gimbo. Gimbo waved it off and dismissed the subject. Bronto shrugged and then told Gimbo to grab his stuff, that had something to do. After exiting the house, Gimbo finds Yeledical and Taka out front, who asked Bronto for help. Yeledical had a coveted axe that was trapped in a flaming home, and needed assistance to retrieve it. The group set out for the home, a long and tedious journey. Gimbo learned that there was a lightning storm that had happened around the area and that is what set the home ablaze. As they set up camp for the night, Bronto and Taka left to go get wood. As they returned, Bronto informed the group that he was only able to make 3 beds. Yeledical volunteered to stay watch for the night, and the group got ready to retire for the night. But, Yeledical encountered a lone skeleton as they set up, and upon killing it, left a strange residue where the skeleton once was. Gimbo seemed to be the only one who noticed, but shrugged it off. In the morning, the group set out once again to find the home. They eventually found it, deep embedded in the mountain arches, still ablaze. The group rushed quickly, fighting off mobs to enter the engulfed home. They were able to retrieve the item, which Gimbo was able to get a glimpse at before Yeledical grabbed it. As the group rushed out, Yeledical doubled back to check that he didn't miss anything. But as Gimbo turned to check on him, the home exploded, most likely from a gas leak. The group, distraught, placed a single rose at the scorched site before moving on and making the journey back home. After a grudging and solemn trek back home, Gimbo was finally able to catch up on some sleep. But, his nightmares plagued him once again. As he closed his eyes, his vision faded to red, and then white and black where he saw Bingo standing before him.
