(Our characters find themselves in the bowels of the great flying machine. It is surprisingly spacious in the airships interior.)

(The lights are focused on the centre of the stage. the rest is in darkness)
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTndP1lRKN
Protagonist: (Looking around) This is unlike anything I have ever seen. It is as if we have stepped into a world of mechanical marvels and dreams.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDITkE0HBF
Ser Draconis: Indeed, my dear. The domain of the Adapetus is unlike any other. Here, the line between genius and insanity blurs into oblivion. Embrace the strangeness, winged one. Otherwise, it shalt be intolerable.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfM247wtiyA
(The protagonist nods meekly)
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kXwlPIpi2
A.M: (From above) Before our grand journey begins, I invite you above deck to witness the scenery, from thy ingenious airship. It is a splendid spectacle that thou do not want to miss!
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzcn6FditU
(Once they emerge above deck, they are greeted by a snooty, arrogant voice)
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7q5kBWzBfQ
Snooty person: (Very arrogant) Well, well, what do we have upon thy private vessel? A quaint gathering of commoners embarking on a merry adventure? I see, fear not, for you will have the privilege of my company.

217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFHpdglmeq
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ585oKE9msd
(Before the protagonist could formulate a reply, the Dragoon Knight got there first)
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpswn8Svmvh
Ser Draconis: Privilege, thou say? It is the camaraderie and shared purposes that define our journey, not the size of one's purse or birth. We welcome all who seek understanding.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6WFO51tKc
AM: The sky holds no class quarrels or prejudice. It welcomes all who are to soar!
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeILDm5QLU0
Protagonist: (hoping to change the subject) Adapetus, we have come to understand thy wings, can thou...
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJihu3iWTnx
(AM interrupts her)
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctgQCjIgiZ
AM: (Snippy) Patience! (Clearly still annoyed by the snooty person)
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlFoVCWtA7
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHB7FQuUUcx
(AM feels guilty, however)
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocER93dmyA
AM: My apologies for the outburst. I shall assist you with your enquiries later. (Addressing everyone) Dear travellers, let us focus on the skies and the marvels that await us. (To protagonist) And we can address the mysteries of those wings in due time.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwJJylr4kq
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHU1VQ6CD5O
Snooty Person: In case you were wondering, I am Lord Preen, the finest hunter in all of Narciss, and my father is none other than the esteemed Earl Bigot. The blood of excellence and privilege flows through my veins.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdiR5B08lv
(The Dragoon Knight seems to be visibly annoyed by Lord Preen)
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDexJ84amB
Ser Draconis: (with a wry smirk) Lord Preen, we are truly in the presence of greatness. Your hunting progress and noble lineage are nothing short of inspiring. How fortunate we are to have such illustrious company on this endeavour.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYakYLLqzk
Lord Preen: (missing the sarcasm) Thou art, indeed.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVX822BUjG
(AM does something at his control panel)
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIturruzJq
AM: Behold!
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2Z6ukFuPZ
(The airship begins to move away from where it was hovering)
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5w6orTDYLu
Protagonist: Regarding the wings...
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQQfTNeGfb
AM: Ah yes, your wings, my dear, they art a marvel indeed. While I may not have all the answers, I can offer a piece of the puzzle... The secrets lie in the harmony between mechanics and nature. We shall have to tinker and experiment together to unlock their full potential.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyviGMWVp4t
(Before she can reply, something behind her starts spluttering and clanking)
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDriEf3VXfv
(The lights focus on the malfunctioning mechanism behind her)
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2X3JB9hLes
Unknown Machine: (*Explodes*)

217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wHcKLXgYO
(The lights follow her)
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgu3CQr1Aax
(The wings begin to work. She is flying {held by a chord})
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81KK2IxXCE
Protagonist: (Addressing everyone) Lo, the wings work! I am aloft, a creature of the skies.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNTBf3SOCL
(She lands on the deck of AMs Airship)
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrbq4dHmAI
AM: Wings unfold... Mysteries untold.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsM2IkFO5hj
Lord Preen: (Trying to appear unimpressed) Wings or not, I have seen grander spectacles in my time.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpzTpabLWO
AM: Allow me to take a closer look at these remarkable wings. They may hold the very secrets of the skies.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvAsksvV28
(Without waiting for an answer, AM begins darting energetically around her, poking, prodding, and taking measurements.)
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi40sFPT0Vh
(The Dragoon Knight looks uncomfortable at this)
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kCdFaVtF0
(Stage lights should dim here)
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHiE3Uaraj
Protagonist: (Yawns) An eventful day it hath been. Rest calls my name.

217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqxgTjQhwc
(A glare from the Dragoon Knight removes the sneer from Lord Preen)
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtg6EJud7l
(The Adapetus Mechanical's demeanour shifts to delight, declares...)
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm50PySnFCy
AM: Ah, Ser Draconis, conceive what wonders we could fabricate with these wings at the very heart of my mechanical marvels. The world itself shall become a canvas upon which are ingenious contrivances shall be painted. Crowds shalt gather in awe of my genius, and the royal treasuries shall overflow with the glittering coin, filling our coffers to the brim. We would be hailed as the architects of an extraordinary age.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUUmGcAXqp
Ser Draconis: (with a fond edge to his rich voice) Indeed, Adapetus, these wings are an ethereal and otherworldly gift. They could alter the course of countless skirmishes and battles. The Order of The Dragoon, that hallowed bastion of chivalry and inaction (he says this bitterly), would ascend to realms of invincibility with such a celestial boon. The annals of history would etch our names among the greatest of Knights.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eaAnDEcaY
(AM nods in agreement)
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiUwfAFOB4
Ser Draconis: We must tread with the utmost caution, for her innocence remains our greatest advantage...
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZSRPwy4nt
(Lord Preen clears his throat)
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoCXnzsDRl
Lord Preen: (Voice dripping with haughty refinement) While you both indulge in your discussions of wings and coin, I, the noble Lord Preen, must remind you of the intricate layers of status that envelop us. After all, in my homeland, the civilised expanses of Narciss, status is the currency that truly matters. Let us not lose sight of the grand tapestry of opportunity that reveals itself before us, a tapestry with thyself as illustrious centrepiece, of course.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCUtTuZPCH
AM: (with an air of condescending) Ah, Lord Preen, your obsession with status is nothing but a trivial pursuit. In the grand orchestra of innovation, your "noble" note is but a faint whisper, lost in the crescendo of progress.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8n222aHAQe
Ser Draconis: Beware, Lord Preen, or face the consequences.
(The Dragoon Knight draws his dragon bone spear with blinding speed and points it at his throat)
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jN9HEDQWW
(Lord Preen swallows and tries to regain his composure)
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJXCAfLcqU
Lord Preen: (intimidated and apologetic) I-I offer nothing but my most sincere apologies, noble sirs, It was not my intended to offend. Let us refocus on our mutual goals and objectives.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAj58socU30
