### The Events Leading Up To The Reset

Flop Industries, The Children of the Wheel and The Federation all were alerted to an Entity on the horizons of the Dimensional plane. Whilst this would usually be an event which people would pay little attention to, as it is usually nothing but an asteroid or small ship, this particular alert was more dangerous.

At first, asteroids would go off radar, with no trace of where they were going. Flop Industries were confused as they were tracking the satellite activity of The Federation, and something as big as an asteroid going off radar suggested something was wrong. The Federation were confused since these asteroids at the edge of the plane were rich in materials such as gold and other precious metals.

Next it was moons of distant, forgotten planets. Those once claimed by the beings before, now rotten shells of what they were, former cities in ruins. Then Planets. Those same parents of the moons, gone. Whilst Flop Industries and The Federation were utterly confused, The Children of the Wheel were in horror. The Entity was not just one which was often available. One of the last of its species, a devourer, only 4 recorded in the past 5 centuries of the local dimensions.

Flop Industries were the next to notice what this Entity was. However, unlike the Children of the Wheel, they did not have the same knowledge regarding such beasts. Instead, labelling them as: Entity PR257D, A.K.A. The one who will feast.

### Devourers - A Flop Industries Account

Devourers have a complex biology. Since these beasts can transport between Dimensions effortlessly, they require a large amount of energy. Unlike most biological beings, these Entity’s instead feast on mineral matter, such as Gold, Copper or even Diamond. Whilst it is likely that these beasts are mostly harmless, they pose only as a threat towards life on planets and on sustainable planes.

To gain a title such as a ‘Devourer’, such beasts must have an appetite, and to match that, a large mouth and stomach to accompany it. However, these beasts counter this by simply expanding. They will expel their energy in transporting themselves into a new dimension, then proceed to eat until it can transport again. When filling itself, it starts at the size of an average Earth Elephant. It will start small, chunks of rocks and ice that form the rings round celestial bodies. Then, it will move up size. Small asteroids, metres big, then bigger, kilometres big. Then they start to move onto the celestial bodies, starting with chunks of moons, then whole moons, followed by chunks of planets then whole planets.

In rare events, Devourers may result in eating brown dwarf stars, and low mass stars. Never reaching larger than 200,000km wide, the beasts will continue to expand, eating entire dimensions until they have enough energy to warrant transporting to the next feeding ground.

### D. H. Bunton

D. H. Bunton, a recognised Flop Industries author and researcher conducted several hours of work into researching what this beast was, providing the information above. The original document regarding his first thoughts was discovered amongst the wreck of the portal. The book carefully noted to all Flop Industries employees as to what the worst case scenario would be, stating that all citizens deemed as survivors should be transported to the next safehouse system at the lab's gateway, as established further down this page. Mr Bunton's services also included talking with Flop Industries Head Researcher, Toby who produced an image of what the beast may look like upon Prism.

For those who do not wish to see further, ensure to look away.

Mr Bunton fought for the Public of Prism SMP to know what was going on behind the scenes, demanding that Flop Industries comment on the entity and the procedures taking place. The pages within his book detail how he can see both sides of the coin in the respect of public interest and public chaos, but he also ensured that Orange should be informed if not already aware of the situation. Mr Bunton also stated that it may be important to involve the Librarian who was active within this scene. This was referring to Kitsune, since he had involvement with both Flop and Orange with an interest in Dimensional Horrors.

### Flop Industries

Flop Industries first kept note of its predicted trajectory. Noting that it would end up just passing the Prism field. However, after an interaction with The Federation, it was clear that the path had changed. Now on course to the Prism SMP, Flop Industries decided the best option would be to alert the authorised users and inform the public regarding the recent events.

#### Announcement 1 (10th July 2023):

> **This is an Emergency Broadcast**
>
>
> An Entity has been spotted at the borders of this Dimension. Flop Industries is working to destroy, alter or delay any harm. For your knowledge, we have named it Entity PR-257D. Do not be worried.
>
>
> Flop Industries will take care of it. Otherwise we have our last resort.
>
>
> Prepare for imminent danger, but also have faith in us.
>
>
>
> *End of Broadcast*
>
>

The announcement was written to acknowledge that there was danger, but also attempt to not worry the public regarding what was going on beyond Prism. To try to calm the beast, an attempt was made using small shock troopers to try and move the beast’s path from Prism, as originally was shown, however it didn’t work.

#### Announcement 2 (13th July 2023):

> **This is an Emergency Broadcast**
>
>
> The horror known as Entity PR-257D draws ever closer. Whilst attempts at destroying or calming the beast have been made, None have been successful. Please prepare for Protocol PSMPR as assigned in the Dimensional Horror Guide.
>
>
> This Protocol should only be activated in a last chance act of survival.
>
>
> We have sent elite agents to try to disrupt the flow of this beast.
>
>
>
> *End of Broadcast*
>
>

The announcement was was written to try to appease those who were not already taken by the previous announcement. Whilst this clearly shows more of an aggressive format showing that Flop Industries are preparing for a last act of survival, it notably mentions the elite agents. The outcome of this would be revealed in the next announcement.

#### Announcement 3 (24th July 2023):

> **This is an Emergency Broadcast**
>
>
> This is the final Broadcast regarding this situation.
>
>
> The Horror is here, it can't and will not stop heading this direction. The Federation have fled, the Children of the Wheel have disappeared and we are all thats left in this dimension to protect it.
>
>
> The elite agents were unsucccessful, Since the previous announcement our most powerful Ally was sent out to defeat this creature and even he was unsuccessful.
>
>
> Since his failure he has created an alternate field to protect us until Protocol PSMPR is completed. This field is due to expire within just 300 hours. This is not long.
>
>
> We warn you that this technology is new and is not nearly as predictable and we would like it to be, and so some members involved with the equipment may get transported elsewhere in both time and space.
>
>
> Thank you for your patience, and stay safe out there.
>
>
> It has been a pleasure
>
>
>
> *End of Broadcast*
>
>

This announcement was the final announcement regarding this situation. It ended the communication that Flop Industries was providing to the server with a simple statement of staying safe. Whilst it mentions the fate of the Elite agents, it also discusses that Orange was involved with the beast near the end of the life of the dimension. Whilst Orange was also unsuccessful, he created enough time to allow for Flop Industries to finalise a new technology which involved the teleportation of key individuals, and potentially those around.

### The Tech Behind It All

> Entry 1:
>
>
> Flop Industries recently conducted an experiment regarding Dimensional Travel after Flop and Orange had a conversation regarding a potential threat in the near future and what to do if it ever came to light, The testing was successful, and the transferring of matter from Dimension 257 (Prism SMP) to Dimension 258 (PSMPR) worked. Whilst other dimensions are being considered, 258 is the best hope in the case of a worst case scenario.
>
>
>
> - Head Researcher: Toby.
>
>

The above is an extract from the Head Researchers log. In which he explains that an experiment regarding dimensional travel was successful and was possible. Whilst Toby does not state it, he implies the possibility of the Entity 257D being the catalyst behind the sudden change in mood from Flop regarding dimensional travel.
The later entries depict how the travel has been upgrading and how the systems are being plotted and routed to allow for any dimensional travel if necessary through the gateway. This is all finalised by Entry 6 and 7 after Entries 4 and 5 were ripped out of the book.

> Entry 6:
>
>
> IT'S HAPPENED. ENTITY PR-256D, AKA THE ONE WHO WILL FRIGGIN FEAST IS ON ITS WAY NOW. PROTOCOL PSMPR IS ACTIVE. ALL ESSENTIALS MUST BE TELEPORTED TO DIMENSION 258. RESET MUST OCCUR.
>
>
>
> - TOBY
>
>

Entry 6 clearly depicted Toby in a panicked state, ensuring that if the log survived or was found, the information regarding the event would be passed on.

> entry 7:
>
>
> i did it. i am going with this ship and i am sinking. during the evacuation something happened... it went wrong, it was damaged. all passengers were safely transported except for flop employees. i cant move, and only have this book. the device is still active. if you are reading this, the device triggered a larger than expected portal, causing a catastrophic failure and the entire room to be transported too.
>
>
>
> if i see you there.. i hope to meet you safely, yours - toby.
>
>

Whilst Entry 7 implied that the book was transported, it seems as though Toby was not. There was no evidence that indicated his survival bar a few unidentifiable skulls around the room. One should expect the worst in these such scenarios, and Toby was not afraid to do this.

### Pre-Reset:

As already mentioned, one of the survivors of the reset was the Librarian Kitsune. He provided his comments regarding the events, as provided within a short-time diary. It reads as follows:

> My account of the current situation, to be sent to Flop Industries for permanent safekeeping.
>
>
> - Kitsune
>
>
>
> The warning was sent out about a potential dimensional threat. Whilst I didn't want to believe it, once this being started to attack, it was clear that this was not just a joke anymore. The Prism SMP was at risk of permanent damage. After discussing situations regarding this sort of issue with Orange and Flop a few months ago, I felt as though we were far from this sort of situation. Knowing now what I didn't before, I know this means that we must reset, We must move dimensions to a safer environment. There is no guarantee that this 'being' or as I would declare, Dimensional Horror, will not be able to follow us to the next dimension. This may occur again. I hope that if I can either learn dimensional travel or be transported to a facility capable, that I am able to join the new life. I wish to everyone good luck, and please.. don't forget anyone lost.

Whilst Kitsune was voicing his concerns to Flop Industries regarding the current events, the company were busy contacting the select few who were chosen to be teleported forward into the new dimension. Some of whom had a personal form of interdimensional travel, which was discussed privately within the Flop Industries Contact Forum, or FICF.

### The Reset:

The first known successful transportation to the new dimension was Ironically Kitsune. However, his account of the events clearly shows how the portal not only teleports you through space.

> If you are reading this.. It happened.
>
>
> The labelled.. Protocol PSMPR has occurred due to Entity PR-257D.
>
>
> PSMPR... Prism SMP Reset. The movement from D257 to D258.
>
>
> I don't know what to say..
>
>
>
> I was transported here earlier than everyone else. I have set up a camp next to the ruins of Flop Industries hoping to see some life. The building is here.. Items too.. but not the portal. Just to be sure, I have taken and hidden the precious belongings of those who were assigned to the Flop Industries PSMPR protocol.

Amongst a few other pages of nonsense, Kit clearly labels how he was the first to arrive upon this new world, however when the others were transported, he was no where to be seen. Leaving his book behind in his tent, the others were able to find their lost belongings with his help of his riddles and books: Darling, It's Near and Hex.

### After the Reset

After the Reset, life on the Prism SMP relaxed again. New areas were provided to the citizens, allowing for new creations to take place. However, everyone still had a bit of an unnerved feeling regarding the presence of the Entity, and what may lie next.

Since the Reset, two more documents were recovered - FlopPop Interview: By Kitsune, and Orange Interview: By Kitsune. Both of these books have Kit questioning the upper-class citizens regarding such events as this. From these interviews we can detail that Orange and FlopPop may have more knowledge than is lead on. Manuscripts of these books will be available at: **[REDACTED]**

## Decryption

### Start

The start of this event meant that selected players were spawned into the 'lab', a focal point to the entire plot of the event. TLDR of the above information, the lab went boom in a different universe.

Next to the lab, Kit's Tent, now Kit's House, was placed, which housed a book informing the players to find items hidden away, where the first clue as to their location was: Head to -1560 Y 750 and look for the lonely tree.

Whilst the co-ordinates were provided, this task required players to climb to the top of the spoke that the tree was sat upon, and examine the signs.

### The Caves

The tree stated: "Follow the orange.. it will show you, Into the depths... Seek it",

Implying to look into the cave, players will have seen various orange concrete scattering the area. Following this, would lead them to the next clue, where in which they would receive their next instruction.

The next clue was hidden in Runes, meaning the players were required to translate the runes before proceeding. It translated as:

> Eternal youth, Eternal Love. My dearest darling, I cannot live knowing you are no longer part of my life. Though I wish you the best, I cannot go through anymore. Valhalla awaits me and until I travel to its Lands, the members who look for you will not stop at trying to find me first. My darling, please go to these co-ordinates where I will be waiting. X -Five Hundred, Y you'll know, Z -Seven Hundred. I'll await your return.
>
>

### The River

The co-ordinates take you to a river, where hidden rooms are beneath. Following a tunnel down, the players came across a book reading:

> Eternal Youth, Eternal Love. I know what you want. You want your goods back. Soon. Just prove your worth. Show me you want it.
>
>

Following this book was a parkour tunnel, as well as a mob spawner tunnel. Ending was a black concrete maze, where at the end of this maze a book was available.

> Eternal Youth, Eternal Love. I am to assume that you are reading this safely and sound. I hope you didn't miss this vital book. Though I cannot provide you any more information regarding this... What I can say is that you need to return to the lab. To where it started... To where I believe this whole situation began. The One Who Devours may not be done... he may come for Dimension 258, but for now.. you are safe. We.. are safe. I will await your return at the lab. Once there please find the next clue. It will be hidden.. under. I hope this was worth it. I hope you enjoy this while you wander: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbYa7NBYyRc

### The Lab

Whilst everyone went out, underneath the lab housed a bunker which stored an ender chest hidden behind a locked door. To open the door you were required to provide a Keycard. Within this room also included the book which revealed that those who completed the event were rewarded with their ender chest inventory from Prism SMP 1.0
