Wanting to keep his job at CACA, Ken agrees. On their way to New York, where Pentaverate HQ is, Anthony tells Ken that the only way to infiltrate the Pentaverate is through the Liechtenstein Guard, their security force. Anthony tried to infiltrate it once, but couldn't as you need to be circumcised and there is the tug test. Ken calls Mrs. Snee to tell her he may have found a big story, but Snee tells him they have already replaced him.

Anthony takes Ken and Reilly to Area 52 bar and tells them to ask for Sammy. They need to beat him in billiards and he will give them security fob to infiltrate the Pentaverate. They find Sammy inside, but he doesn't like Anthony and refuses to give them the fob, however, Sammy states he will give it to them if they beat him in pool.

Anthony tells him to get footage of the Pentaverate members and if possible vials of adrenochrome. Using the fob, Ken easily enters the Pentaverate. There he meets the Exalted Pikeman Higgins of the Liechtenstein Guard. Ken introduces himself as "Ken Doll", who wants to join the security guards in order to change his story and life. Higgins pass Ken and tells him to meet up with Katie in HR, however Ken wonders about the tug test. Higgins realizes he forgot about it and asks Ken to drop his pants.

Pikeman is annoyed that Ken tells him how to do his job, however, Ken uses Defendo, a Canadian martial arts he learned in the Canadian army and explains he only wanted to stick up for his fellow guard. Pikeman states that Ken will teach the rest Defendo and that he already taught them one lesson, that the guards are band of brothers. Later, Pikeman tells Ken that he impressed him today when he stood up for his fellow guard, and asks him to come with him as he has a special job for Ken. Pikeman shows the office of the Fimbra Manus, who are like the hands of the Pentaverate in the outside world. Pikeman then takes Ken to the Pentaverate Hall of Achievements. He shows him various achievements like the polio vaccine, but states their greatest one is the ball bearing, which helped making cars, railroads, aircraft and other vehicles. Pikeman believes in the Pentaverate, but thinks there is something rotten in it and wants Ken to be his eyes and ears, and decides to put him on the main chamber duty. Pikeman sneaks Ken in the main chamber, during the Initiato of Skip.

Ken contacts Anthony and Reilly and tells them he saw some amazing things and will meet them at the entrance. As he heads out, he is stopped by Pikeman, who shows him that the Maester, along with Ergo and Anso, have been killed. The Maester had wrote Parce Clavem with his blood, which must have been a sign.

Before they split up, Pikeman warns Ken to not touch the key. However, the Sasquatch continues to follow Ken, where people confuse him for Ogre of Dubrovnik. The real Ogre of Dubrovnik, Shrek appears and knocks out the Sasquatch, saving Ken. Ken proceeds and finds the fortune-teller, who opens a secret path towards the castle. Entering, Ken reaches the hall of mirrors and The Saester of Dubrovnik appears. Ken tells her that the Maester is dead and she cries for her brother. Ken tells her that he is here for Parce Clavem, but the Saester tells him it isn't there. However, Ken states he knows its there and the Saester reveals she is the keeper. She asks him to drink from the Chalice of Malice, so his anger can erupt. She then gives him a gun and asks him to shoot her to retrieve the key, but is sure he won't be able to due to the mirrors. Ken shoots and hits her in the leg, which surprises her as he got her on the first time and wasn't supposed to. The Saester tells him to take the key and leave, while she calls an ambulance, but she will charge him for the insurance as she can't put "Pentaverate".

Ken flies off, intending to return to Toronto and tell a great story. However, while flying, someone takes remotely the control of the helicopter and flies them to an airplane landing, where the Red Robes get Ken and Reilly on a small plane. Skip Cho tells them the fun time is over as he needs Ken to help them. Ken is surprised, but Skip notes she shouldn't be that naive. Bruce Baldwin then reveals himself and states he is the bad guy.

On their way to the Meadows, Bruce reveals that he killed Jason, Hobart and the Maester and intends to sell MENTOR. When they arrive in Switzerland, Ken and Reilly are being transported in a van.

Reilly apologizes as well and reveals a Fimbra Manus tattoo. She explains she was sent to Toronto by the Pentaverate a year ago to take Ken to HQ. Reilly reveals she followed a plan from Lord Lordington and Patty Davis. She set up Anthony to interest Ken in the Pentaverate and reveals the moustache man and Sammy also work for her. She managed to get him into the Guards, but the murders made things go out of hands. Lordington still believed in their plan, but they didn't expect Ken to be send to Dubrovnik and fuse with the key. She managed to free them, but Bruce caught them. Reilly asks Ken to help them save the world as she believes he is truly good man. The mysterious moustache man appears and lets them know he will be breaking them out. He shoots the guard and frees them.

Ken and Reilly end up encountering the Red Robes and get separated while they attempt to escape them. Ken finds himself in front of the orgy room, where the guard tells him that he can only enter if he is nude and then strips him naked. After passing through the room, he encounters Reilly.

The Guards form a shield formation to withstand the gunfire from the Red Robes and while the Red Robes are reloading, the Guards close the distance and kill them with the crossbows. Ken then storms the presentation and captures Bruce and Skip. Reilly attempts to put handcuffs on Bruce, but he manages to take her as a hostage. Bruce wants Ken to use the key, but Ken decides to throw the key though the moon door, stating that the Pentaverate must never be exposed. The people need to trust the experts, but the experts need to serve the people. Bruce attempts to leave with Reilly, but Anthony tackles him and they fall through the moon door. Lordington then enact the Demetrius Protocols. Lordington thanks Reilly for delivering them the soul that will save MENTOR, Ken. Reilly states she didn't knew this and Ken doesn't need to do it, but Ken states she was right and his journey is just beginning, and his kindness is his strength. Ken then accepts the soul transfer.

A year later, Ken's soul lives in the supercomputer MENTOR which is now called KENTOR and works for the newly founded secret organization Septaverate, along with Reilly and Patty.
