### Raid of Bean York City

* TommyInnit logged on to the server and immediately noticed the chaos created at Business Bay by Sylvee, Krinios, and Thunder1408.
	+ Their prank, which was created the day prior, was in retaliation to traps placed by Tommy on Day 37.
* Upon noticing that Tommy had logged on to the server, Sylvee and Krinios flew over to Business Bay in order to watch his reaction.
	+ Sylvee and Krinios joined Tommy's voice chat with LukeOrSomething, initially to defend themselves yet they quickly began to mock Tommy and call him a "Zombie Child".
	+ Tommy attempted to lure Sylvee in to another minecart trap in order to kill her. She quickly realized his motive, however, and began to chase and attack Tommy.
		- Sylvee killed Tommy with a few hits and broke his bed, forcing him to respawn at Spawn.
* Sylvee and Krinios returned to Bean York City in order to resume the construction of their metropolis.
* Once Tommy returned to Business Bay, he summoned Wispexe and Luke as he intended to retaliate against Sylvee and Krinios' hostilities.
	+ The members discussed potential battle strategies and decided that their best course of action was to launch a surprise attack against the members of the Bean Empire.
		- Both Wisp and Luke voiced their concern that the surprise attack may unravel in to a larger conflict, and that the Antarctic Empire could get involved as Ph1LzA was online at the time.
* Tommy, Luke, and Wisp flew over to Bean York City, setting their plan in to action.
	+ Sylvee and Krinios were quickly alerted of Tommy, Luke, and Wisp's approach to their location. Sylvee also notified Phil of the situation, telling him to be prepared in the situation that she or Krinios required support.
* The members of Business Bay arrived in Bean York City and attempted to establish a random conversation in order to confuse Sylvee and Krinios.
	+ Seconds later, Business Bay launched their attack by pouring lava on both Sylvee and Krinios. Neither of the members of the Bean Empire took severe damage and quickly returned fire against the attackers.
	+ Tommy, Luke, and Wisp hastily ran for cover and retreated by plane upon discovering that Sylvee and Krinios were much stronger than anticipated.
* While en route back to Business Bay, the perpetrators were alerted by their audiences of Phil's presence in their territory.
	+ Phil was already on course to New Beanland to assist his allies and quickly changed direction upon hearing of the attackers' retreat.
	+ Tommy hoped that Phil was only there to talk yet he was quickly mistaken as the latter began to fire arrows at them once they arrived.
	+ Sylvee arrived in pursuit of the members of Business Bay as well.
		- She was initially travelling alongside Krinios, but he disconnected from the server midway above the Pacific Ocean and Sylvee continued onwards without him. Upon returning to the server, he was rescued by KaraCorvus.

* A treaty was drafted and signed called the Treaty of Bean York, in which Business Bay and the Bean Empire declared mutual neutrality.
* Following the conclusion of the discussions, Wisp asked Phil to join the Antarctic Empire, effectively leaving Business Bay.

### The 7 ARG

* JoshA20 was spotted around the Laramie Online Office.
* KaraCorvus and CaptainSparklez decided to follow up their investigations on the ARG.
	+ They explored the 5757, 5757 island trying to find any clues but to no avail.
	+ A new volcano had been discovered along the faultline, south of New Hawaiian India.
		- Jordan found a sign that said, "*laramie is the key to the pass*".
	+ Jordan and Kara went to the Laramie Online Office, later found and accessed the command blocks within the bedrock chamber.
		- Buttons were used to activate the command blocks and messages were broadcasted to the server's game chat: "west" and "black lines".
			* A broadcast message was delivered, announcing BIGPRISM 2.3.
		- Kara accidentally caused Jordan's death due to an explosion while activating some of the command blocks.
			* After having many difficulties traveling back to the location due to his plane and the lag plus was kicked out of the server, Jordan was teleported back to the office, presumably by Josh.
			* Another message was broadcasted, informing about an overheating protocol.
				+ Ice blocks began to automatically fill the chamber to counter the issue.
	+ They proceeded to explore a hidden structure marked by dark materials at (15656, 4411), west of the office.
		- Ph1LzA joined the ARG adventure for the first time and provided technical assistance for the quest.
		- They discovered a vault deep underground in a bedrock chamber and attempted to activate the wall of command blocks.
			* Unfortunately, Jordan and Phil were annihilated by an explosion after triggering the wrong command block. Kara managed to survive, enduring 4 hearts of damage.
				+ This is Jordan's second death due to command blocks in the ARG.
				+ This is Phil's second death on the server; he died the first time in the Antarctic Weapon Experiment.
		- Subsequent attempts gave the team several results:
			* a book titled "*seven*" with a daily anecdote of unknown figures concerning the nature of Laramie, BIGPRISM and everything in between.
			* a set of codes was broadcasted: *command execute 77775555 in directory root\information\earth\moon\login.jpg*
	+ They then traveled to (7777, 5555), somewhere in Corvarian Hong Kong, and found a peculiar nether structure with a command block.
		- VoiceOverPete joined their VC briefly to express his concerns over the broadcasted messages, but the team assured him nothing serious had happened.
		- After strucked by lightning several times, the team received a book also titled 'seven' by Andrew, with the content that simply said: "*they know*".
	+ They continued to search the areas around (5555, 7777) and the 7 Volcanoes island for clues, but the search was futile.
		- Phil incurred the wrath of the server 'gods' by exploiting an x-ray glitch to observe the underground. A sign was seen underground that said "*shut up phil*".
		- WilburSoot reminded Phil via Twitch and VC that he's "[deconsecrating] lands with forces you know nothing about".
