Act 1 Scene 2:
(As our characters step into the workshop, they find an array of unfinished contraptions scattered around, bearing witness to the ceaseless creativity and innovation that takes place within these walls)
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNmdSZ9Ahq
Protagonist: (curious) What is this curious contraption? Thy wonder if...
(She reaches out to touch it)
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDtezQkzNI
Unknown: (franticly) Stop! Do not touch anything! Thou have no idea what that machine may do!
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmwA2HgHxW
Lord Preen: Who art thou?
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QLe1dzlFZ
Unknown: Behold! Ye hast intruded upon the domain of...well, it is I, the Adapetus Æther! Master of, uh, Æther-fuelled wonders and...conductor of the Etheric symphony, yes!
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XDPfCRUxD
Lord Preen: Thou remind me of the Adapetus Mechanical, who dabbled in quite a similar field. A predecessor of thou, perhaps?
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDR1srwuOg
Adapetus Æther: Indeed...I was his student, or rather, a bumbling novice under his wing. Do thou perchance know what became of him?
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnl7CjVzJ2
Protagonist: (Sadly remembering what happened) It was the End of All who claimed him, a malevolent figure whose name is a grim testament to the tragic end he met.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Kp4bTtYxw
Lord Preen: (remembering the humour of AMs ‘ last moments) Indeed, he met his end in a manner that even the End of All couldn’t comprehend. Laughing his way into the abyss, he was.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RJ10R8vRF
Adapetus Æther: (Nervously) A tragic end, indeed. But, um, why have you ventured into my humble workshop? Is there something amiss, or.... or perhaps you have well, been followed?
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCF6ywHTYkp
Protagonist: In pursuit of your esteemed self, the renowned Adapetus Æther, we arrived at this destination. A peculiar event unfolded when our wings seemed to react to an Æther Machine on these premises.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6byIVrTeDp
Adapetus Æther: Fascinating. Perhaps we could replicate it once more. Can thou make it happen again?
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFB24w7pVg3
(Stage direction: Lights on the wings and use the humming sound)
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREwft5SV2k
She approaches an active machine, and the wings once again start to hum and glow)
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yC7fWRKWL
Adepetus Æther: By the Heavens! This is most intriguing! What manner of enchantment lies within those wings?
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3wYZR9LYV
(The door bursts open, and a female sky pirate enters, she is visibly fuming)
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeF9nJPW4kj
Angry Person: Blast it all, Adapetus! The Dragoons sabotaged the test again. They despise our Æther technology, and I fear they shalt not stop until they have seen it all reduced to scrap!
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAgJK1vDcs
Adapetus Æther: Allow me to introduce thee to a fellow companion of the skies. This fiery soul sails the skies by the name of Captain Selene Star-Caster. A skilled pioneer of aeronautics.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNywwgbQDDk
Protagonist: Well met, Captain.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuFDOyJgUC
(Lord Preen looks thoughtful)
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9sl0VvmNw
Lord Preen: Why is the Order of The Dragoon so vehemently opposed to Æther technology, may I inquire?
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9kuefRups
Adepetus Æther: The Order of the Dragoon opposes Æther technology on grounds of ethics, fearing the disruptive change it brings.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOU4wtv2Uf9
Protagonist: I heard Ser Draconis had his doubts about the Order before he was slain.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ddrJ5Qj2Y
Captain Star-Caster: Aye, he did. The Order, they are a secretive lot, quite aggressive to anything that has the potential to change the balance of power. Ser Draconis was a voice of reason among them.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rQJbilZEw
Lord Preen: Pray tell, whom leads their misguided cause? Is it one grand puppeteer pulling the strings or a cabal of instigators?
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nByCJAhFC
Adepetus Æther: Archmage Drakonvyr. He guides their actions, a formidable figure in their ranks. They rally under his banner.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjtDBluEpK
(The sky pirate has noticed Preens Accent)
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKkb6W4JKM
Captain Star-Caster: Ah, I'd recognise that Narcissian lilt anywhere. Thou art from the city of Narciss, art thou not?
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwWM8l2Cjj
Lord Preen: Ah, Narciss, where the sun seldom graces the land, and my dear father, Earl Bigot, is determined to ensure his legacy.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvXXAJFraz
(The Adepetus Æther's demeanour shifts to unease)
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcVhppqBit
Adepetus Æther: Ru...ru...rumours have reached t-thy ears....of grotesque fleshy b-biomechanical contraptions and the h-h-hapless s-s-souls....
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpzNmOcrkr
Lord Preen: Fleshy biomechanical machines? By the heavens, that sounds horrible. The thought of such horrors in my beloved Narciss does trouble me.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfwM5UBkdR
Protagonist: Indeed, Lord Preen, Narciss seems to be in turmoil. But we shalt fret not over rumours with no evidence.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vQk1mOS0U
(The lights dim to nothing)
