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)
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ylJQVTYou
Protagonist: (curious) What is this curious contraption? Thy wonder if...
(She reaches out to touch it)
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXi4Ex9FpZ
Unknown: (franticly) Stop! Do not touch anything! Thou have no idea what that machine may do!
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrWFG3YzrY
Lord Preen: Who art thou?
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mk12qusN0
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!
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32kEGPhwiI
Lord Preen: Thou remind me of the Adapetus Mechanical, who dabbled in quite a similar field. A predecessor of thou, perhaps?
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡss0AedgshW
Adapetus Æther: Indeed...I was his student, or rather, a bumbling novice under his wing. Do thou perchance know what became of him?
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFg1HlrS7zs
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdk37gajS02
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYvckaDXvN
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?
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbCPT1LPtL
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAH8ovASNs
Adapetus Æther: Fascinating. Perhaps we could replicate it once more. Can thou make it happen again?
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UCVA1bEMk
(Stage direction: Lights on the wings and use the humming sound)
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs73Ttmmj7M
She approaches an active machine, and the wings once again start to hum and glow)
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprXPd9lWAE
Adepetus Æther: By the Heavens! This is most intriguing! What manner of enchantment lies within those wings?
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBwjCndUBt
(The door bursts open, and a female sky pirate enters, she is visibly fuming)
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡce0c9KUwmX
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!
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLQksZtOfY
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylTgjxlAIS
Protagonist: Well met, Captain.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwusyFJZeN
(Lord Preen looks thoughtful)
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9g2bK2kEjq
Lord Preen: Why is the Order of The Dragoon so vehemently opposed to Æther technology, may I inquire?
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJMGuPN5DH
Adepetus Æther: The Order of the Dragoon opposes Æther technology on grounds of ethics, fearing the disruptive change it brings.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUivmOMQLRn
Protagonist: I heard Ser Draconis had his doubts about the Order before he was slain.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJsQtyjYDr
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeai6l9GBM
Lord Preen: Pray tell, whom leads their misguided cause? Is it one grand puppeteer pulling the strings or a cabal of instigators?
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeffrNj9KV
Adepetus Æther: Archmage Drakonvyr. He guides their actions, a formidable figure in their ranks. They rally under his banner.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aMp5eUKAF
(The sky pirate has noticed Preens Accent)
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmyptVjYPI
Captain Star-Caster: Ah, I'd recognise that Narcissian lilt anywhere. Thou art from the city of Narciss, art thou not?
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUeNf88C0Y
Lord Preen: Ah, Narciss, where the sun seldom graces the land, and my dear father, Earl Bigot, is determined to ensure his legacy.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdnvUnE0kV
(The Adepetus Æther's demeanour shifts to unease)
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4nO3OQy0n
Adepetus Æther: Ru...ru...rumours have reached t-thy ears....of grotesque fleshy b-biomechanical contraptions and the h-h-hapless s-s-souls....
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoNX14v6gk
Lord Preen: Fleshy biomechanical machines? By the heavens, that sounds horrible. The thought of such horrors in my beloved Narciss does trouble me.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfD7ii5aMo
Protagonist: Indeed, Lord Preen, Narciss seems to be in turmoil. But we shalt fret not over rumours with no evidence.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLlDrsMawc
(The lights dim to nothing)
