Incarceron

Content Warning: This section of the guide contains descriptions of imprisonment and enslavement.

Long ago, King Endor mandated that everyone “retreat” into the past and erase the last several centuries of technological, scientific, and medical progress to make life “simpler.” In a vision, Sapphique tells Finn that he needs to use the key to unlock time.

In her father’s study, Claudia makes a hologram of the key and puts it in the desk drawer, taking the real one with her as she leaves. She also releases some ladybugs to make it appear that they set the alarm off. She heads back to Jared’s tower.

Keiro informs Finn that he has been experiencing a vision for two hours while everyone else has divided up the treasure. Finn doesn’t believe he had seizures when he was Outside. Keiro speculates that Jormanric killed Maestra to warn Finn not to defy him. Finn feels guilty about her death because he promised her safety if the ransom was paid. They discuss the key, and Finn explains to Keiro that keys are used to open things. Keiro agrees that the eagle on the key looks just like Finn’s tattoo, and Finn theorizes that the key came from Outside because its materials do not resemble anything in Incarceron.
