Kerberos Is Not An everyday Ship
A ship named Kerberos is the primary setting for 1899's roster of diverse characters, while Prometheus is another ship that had reportedly gone missing before Kerberos set sail. Early in 1899, it becomes evident that Kerberos is no ordinary ship and accommodates many technologies that are almost incomprehensible to the passengers. 1899 takes a dark turn when Kerberos' crew receives a message from a nearby ship, which, upon discovery, turns out to be Prometheus. After finding only a young boy,...
There Is A Red Herring Surrounding This
Red herrings in early episodes of 1899 explained initially that Maura’s father, Henry Singleton (Anton Lesser), is the evil genius behind the simulation. For instance, Maura keeps claiming that her father removed her memories after she and her brother learned about his secret experiments on the ship. In another scene, Henry spies on the passengers of Kerberos from the comfort of his room. While these moments are convincing enough to suggest that Henry is the simulation's architect, the 1899 e...
Some Are Codes For The Simulation
The boy's pyramid and Maura's key are the codes required to end the simulations, as 1899 explained in later episodes. Since Maura had no memories of her past life, she could not recall anything about the key. Henry puts her through those recurring simulations to help her recall where she kept it. It is also possible Henry placed those pyramid symbols all over the ship to jog her memory, or Maura put them there to remember the key after losing her memory. The latter seems plausible since the p...
It Hasn't Been Confirmed Yet But There Are Theories
As 1899 explained, there is a trapdoor under every passenger's bed. Each trapdoor opens to an underground chamber leading to a simulation of the respective passenger's disturbing past. Considering how every character's past was likely a mere construct, the trapdoor simulations probably have nothing to do with the passengers' reality. This is further confirmed when the passengers start going through each other's memory simulations after Daniel alters the code.
It Comes From A Hack
Massive black structures start growing out of the ship's walls towards the 1899 ending, and when Virginia Wilson (Rosalie Craig) touches one, the black mass starts spreading all over her body. Like everything else in the simulation, the black substance is also a code that represents a virus. Daniel intentionally hacks into the system and introduces the virus to the simulation to prevent Henry from restarting the loop. This explains why he asks other passengers to avoid touching it.
The Concept Has Been Used by Some Major Movies
In his allegory, titled "The Cave," Plato describes a hypothetical scenario where a group of people is chained inside a cave, and all they can see is a blank wall in front of them. The wall reflects shadows from the real world behind them but never gives them an accurate depiction of reality. Despite the limitations in their perception, the cave people accept the reality they are presented withbecause it is the only reality they know. Movies like the Christopher Nolan sci-fi film Interstellar...
They Each Serve A Specific, Important Purpose
Like all objects in the simulations, both injections are codes that serve a specific purpose. Their function is similar to the blue and red pills in The Matrix in that they alter the perception of those taking them. Henry uses the black injection to reset Maura's memories and send her into a new simulation. In contrast, he uses the white one to restore his memories and subsequent understanding of reality. 1899 explained little about the syringes explicitly, but their uses were shown in the ev...
No Official Reason Has Been Given
Towards the 1899 ending, Henry gets his hands on the pyramid and the key, but Daniel still manages to stay one step ahead. Daniel manipulates the syringe's code in such a way that when Henry injects its black serum into Maura, she reaches the first simulation playroom that she had created for her son. This is where Daniel tells her that he also changed the key's code to Laura's ring and the pyramid's code to a toy in Elliot's playroom. Using the new key and pyramid, Maura finally breaks out o...
Most Of The Ending Is Speculation
The 1899 ending sees Maura wake up in a space station where she finds the other passengers plugged into a machine. This confirms that no one died on that ship. She finds a screen that reveals the name of the space station as "Project Prometheus" and the present year as "2099." This is followed by a "Welcome to Reality" message from Cirian, which confirms that he knows about his sister's escape from the simulation. Since 1899 ends after this, whether Maura has escaped all simulations or was si...
