(The protagonist and Lord Preen step onto the stage, wearing futuristic attire that still retains elements of their original wardrobe)
155Please respect copyright.PENANADIngn34m7Q
Protagonist: (Looking around at the unfamiliar place) This place... it is so different.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAB7D1uRXExG
Lord Preen: (Emphasizing) Æther has changed everything.
155Please respect copyright.PENANANetKZI4NJL
Protagonist: (Confused) Æther?
155Please respect copyright.PENANAT4QEMwhn5w
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.
155Please respect copyright.PENANA6R38y4JPmg
Protagonist: (Intrigued) Adapetus Mechanical, the brilliant inventor from the past. How wondrous it would be for him to witness these advancements.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAMxvHpmjh9A
Lord Preen: Truly, it is none other than Adapetus Æther, the pupil of Adapetus Mechanical, who delves into this new technology.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAaoiWLvrEbU
Protagonist: (surprised) Adapetus Æther? Another Adapetus? This is most unexpected!
155Please respect copyright.PENANAx0FmUfMOpZ
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.
155Please respect copyright.PENANA2BLwee434g
(The protagonist and Lord Preen walk past the imposing Æther Machine, her wings beginning to glow and hum as they near it)
155Please respect copyright.PENANA2EIBNHowhI
Protagonist: (Surprised) My, these wings do shine and hum most peculiarly.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAMgqtDIQtUw
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.
155Please respect copyright.PENANA269Douejsm
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.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAA2CToQAqIB
Protagonist: (Deadpan) More Adepti, more enigma. It's as if our lives are scenes in a play.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAVo28eiVSne
Lord Preen: (with a wry smirk) Doth it not seen our lives are but scripted for dramatic theatrics?
