Ken introduces himself as "Ken Doll", who wants to join the security guards in order to change his story and life. Pikeman pass Ken and tells him to meet up with Katie in HR, however Ken wonders about the tug test. Pikeman realizes he forgot about it and asks Ken to drop his pants. As he grabs Ken's "jewels", Ken starts yelling, which scream is heard across the whole Pentaverate.

A day before the Meadows, Ken is now part of the Liechtenstein Guard. Exalted Pikeman Higgins wakes the guards in the morning and trash talks one, but Ken stands up for him. 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.

While exploring the Pentaverate HQ, Pikeman sees Ken and tells him 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. When the Red Robes appear, angry, Pikeman comes to the main chamber, wondering who are they. He ends in an argument with the Maester, who states he outranks him. Lordington stops the argument and explains to Pikeman that the Red Robes are just extra security, but that still leaves Pikeman angry.

When Ken leaves the main chambers, 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. Pikeman decides to take things in his own hands and tells Ken that they are going to Dubrovnik to take the spare key. Ken and Pikeman get on the train to Dubrovnik, but the Sasquatch follows them. Ken and Pikeman arrive at Dubrovnik, Croatia. While heading towards the Dubrovnik Castle, they realizes its the Festival of the Ogre of Dubrovnik and people are offering their nets of regret to the Ogre for absolution. As they notice the Sasquatch is after them, Pikeman decides that Ken will look out for the fortune-teller shop, while he tries leading the Sasquatch down the alley. Before they split up, Pikeman warns Ken to not touch the key. However, the Sasquatch continues to follow Ken.

When Ken manages to obtain the spare key, he returns to Pentaverate HQ and heads to the main chamber. There he is accused of stealing the key and the murder of Jason and Hobart. Ken wonders about Pikeman and they show him his head on a pike, stating that he let a journalist into the Liechtenstein Guards, but as the Pentaverate must never be exposed, he paid with his life for his crimes.
