We are introduced to a bustling area. The Æther Dock: A bustling, steampunk harbour where airships dominate the skies and the unknown awaits at every corner)

(The protagonist and Lord Preen step onto the stage, wearing futuristic attire that still retains elements of their original wardrobe)
303Please respect copyright.PENANAZQ4VCUS1TK
Protagonist: (Looking around at the unfamiliar place) This place... it is so different.
303Please respect copyright.PENANAhhUGVJWS6H
Lord Preen: (Emphasizing) Æther has changed everything.
303Please respect copyright.PENANADte3nevKRq
Protagonist: (Confused) Æther?
303Please respect copyright.PENANAlIQh3UJg5W
Lord Preen: Æther, dear friend, a marvel of our age! A force harnessed from the celestial heavens, powering our contraptions with the might of suspensium and the very essence of the skies.
303Please respect copyright.PENANA791CYwQv90
Protagonist: (Intrigued) Adapetus Mechanical, the brilliant inventor from the past. How wondrous it would be for him to witness these advancements.
303Please respect copyright.PENANACQD3B7XHfR
Lord Preen: Truly, it is none other than Adapetus Æther, the pupil of Adapetus Mechanical, who delves into this new technology.
303Please respect copyright.PENANApaI0NJV2uP
Protagonist: (surprised) Adapetus Æther? Another Adapetus? This is most unexpected!
303Please respect copyright.PENANAvRYgWlbxnb
Lord Preen: Aye, the Adapetus Æther is nothing like his predecessor, the Mechanical. He's plagued by paranoia and nervously tinkers with this new Æther technology.
303Please respect copyright.PENANAhtDvkNs3zD
(The protagonist and Lord Preen walk past the imposing Æther Machine, her wings beginning to glow and hum as they near it)
303Please respect copyright.PENANAc7dGHDArcM
Protagonist: (Surprised) My, these wings do shine and hum most peculiarly.
303Please respect copyright.PENANA0EY5PqNBWB
Lord Preen: (Observant) Indeed, these wings seem to have a curious connection to Æther-powered devices. Perhaps we should find the Adapetus Æther for an explanation.
303Please respect copyright.PENANA0QC0OcsQC7
Lord Preen: "Hark, the pursuit of another Adapetus, my dear! Were I bestowed a farthing for each such endeavour, I would rival the entire fortune of Narciss.
303Please respect copyright.PENANAK1bE14Nxdq
Protagonist: (Deadpan) More Adepti, more enigma. It's as if our lives are scenes in a play.
303Please respect copyright.PENANAbSdtfsoXqO
Lord Preen: (with a wry smirk) Doth it not seen our lives are but scripted for dramatic theatrics?
