Circe: Captured units (not Ks) reappear on their game-array squares, of the same colour in the case of pieces, on the file of capture in the case of pawns, and on the promotion square of the file of capture in the case of fairy pieces. If the rebirth square is occupied the capture is normal.

Circe-incarceration of five black pieces.
All the pieces (both black and white) were moved to their final places and all black pieces are incarcerated on their rebirth squares.
P.S. The problem was completely checked for last 4.5 moves completely (has taken approximately one week!). For full five moves Popeye in intelligent mode does not
show any solution. Full check for 5 moves is impossible on available computers. (Authors)
Popeye’s intelligent mode doesn’t work for fairy conditions (with a few exceptions such as AlphabeticChess). The problem is C+ using the condition “WhiteMustCapture”, if that is any help.
