(The protagonist and Lord Preen step onto the stage, wearing futuristic attire that still retains elements of their original wardrobe)
150Please respect copyright.PENANAbPCkTbrmJq
Protagonist: (Looking around at the unfamiliar place) This place... it is so different.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAalGdvxCBQc
Lord Preen: (Emphasizing) Æther has changed everything.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAkQJ3lyGhgU
Protagonist: (Confused) Æther?
150Please respect copyright.PENANAwHoh0jaCDQ
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.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAKfJOuNucWV
Protagonist: (Intrigued) Adapetus Mechanical, the brilliant inventor from the past. How wondrous it would be for him to witness these advancements.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAPFXlqVt1pF
Lord Preen: Truly, it is none other than Adapetus Æther, the pupil of Adapetus Mechanical, who delves into this new technology.
150Please respect copyright.PENANARr090DqT9w
Protagonist: (surprised) Adapetus Æther? Another Adapetus? This is most unexpected!
150Please respect copyright.PENANAH2KysRBjTf
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.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAbBCAryRWBT
(The protagonist and Lord Preen walk past the imposing Æther Machine, her wings beginning to glow and hum as they near it)
150Please respect copyright.PENANAGCUttFtryP
Protagonist: (Surprised) My, these wings do shine and hum most peculiarly.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAtcrhm92t7X
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.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAvZJlW1TFPE
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.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAtMxaDfkKQp
Protagonist: (Deadpan) More Adepti, more enigma. It's as if our lives are scenes in a play.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAanKOZWd38Z
Lord Preen: (with a wry smirk) Doth it not seen our lives are but scripted for dramatic theatrics?
