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)
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaXno9mUzQ
Protagonist: (curious) What is this curious contraption? Thy wonder if...
(She reaches out to touch it)
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9I1WXEW3ZX
Unknown: (franticly) Stop! Do not touch anything! Thou have no idea what that machine may do!
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhXXgUSTyY
Lord Preen: Who art thou?
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VgYTAh9NC
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!
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7qlhEYk0c
Lord Preen: Thou remind me of the Adapetus Mechanical, who dabbled in quite a similar field. A predecessor of thou, perhaps?
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3vyqoC9yT
Adapetus Æther: Indeed...I was his student, or rather, a bumbling novice under his wing. Do thou perchance know what became of him?
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMkX1pH9y8
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.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KLhA3EOPM
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.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcHr0mTDSP
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?
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuzfezmZB2
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.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1U7phMwZN2
Adapetus Æther: Fascinating. Perhaps we could replicate it once more. Can thou make it happen again?
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6FsTWVYzN
(Stage direction: Lights on the wings and use the humming sound)
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumohyYC5yP
She approaches an active machine, and the wings once again start to hum and glow)
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfmtILnqR3
Adepetus Æther: By the Heavens! This is most intriguing! What manner of enchantment lies within those wings?
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwj2gpOvPzz
(The door bursts open, and a female sky pirate enters, she is visibly fuming)
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ku7nnhwfP
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!
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSuSEt8TCg
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.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6KgPXz208
Protagonist: Well met, Captain.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKLOZzPn0i
(Lord Preen looks thoughtful)
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqk1OmR4HA
Lord Preen: Why is the Order of The Dragoon so vehemently opposed to Æther technology, may I inquire?
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgz5VMupjB
Adepetus Æther: The Order of the Dragoon opposes Æther technology on grounds of ethics, fearing the disruptive change it brings.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanamjHfx8e
Protagonist: I heard Ser Draconis had his doubts about the Order before he was slain.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lgPYCGlgq
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.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAq91HTvHS
Lord Preen: Pray tell, whom leads their misguided cause? Is it one grand puppeteer pulling the strings or a cabal of instigators?
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTWsPQqf3E
Adepetus Æther: Archmage Drakonvyr. He guides their actions, a formidable figure in their ranks. They rally under his banner.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bO4DdJZVr
(The sky pirate has noticed Preens Accent)
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35fmrp6Cf4
Captain Star-Caster: Ah, I'd recognise that Narcissian lilt anywhere. Thou art from the city of Narciss, art thou not?
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCG2Ni9LPb
Lord Preen: Ah, Narciss, where the sun seldom graces the land, and my dear father, Earl Bigot, is determined to ensure his legacy.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLw9IPfKWUr
(The Adepetus Æther's demeanour shifts to unease)
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfkPg3ATYJ
Adepetus Æther: Ru...ru...rumours have reached t-thy ears....of grotesque fleshy b-biomechanical contraptions and the h-h-hapless s-s-souls....
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXhwwgNkZv
Lord Preen: Fleshy biomechanical machines? By the heavens, that sounds horrible. The thought of such horrors in my beloved Narciss does trouble me.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMepRAiLjj
Protagonist: Indeed, Lord Preen, Narciss seems to be in turmoil. But we shalt fret not over rumours with no evidence.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NwAx7MQC1
(The lights dim to nothing)
