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)
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvesaOGWxq
Protagonist: (curious) What is this curious contraption? Thy wonder if...
(She reaches out to touch it)
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBXYoEcutk
Unknown: (franticly) Stop! Do not touch anything! Thou have no idea what that machine may do!
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLGWwEiCM1
Lord Preen: Who art thou?
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOCxwMfQ7u
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!
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8py4GZWRr
Lord Preen: Thou remind me of the Adapetus Mechanical, who dabbled in quite a similar field. A predecessor of thou, perhaps?
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtRbRBmIr3
Adapetus Æther: Indeed...I was his student, or rather, a bumbling novice under his wing. Do thou perchance know what became of him?
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfifxzuxybU
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwO1MNyd5J
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtkZOG9Uad
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?
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TSeADADhf
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghRiERxjjz
Adapetus Æther: Fascinating. Perhaps we could replicate it once more. Can thou make it happen again?
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdSmGaCz6H
(Stage direction: Lights on the wings and use the humming sound)
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsE7bltg0Dg
She approaches an active machine, and the wings once again start to hum and glow)
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMjP2ITi03
Adepetus Æther: By the Heavens! This is most intriguing! What manner of enchantment lies within those wings?
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DH7sdi9N9
(The door bursts open, and a female sky pirate enters, she is visibly fuming)
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqL56GuxUuv
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!
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmQux2esyB
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmn96033wQ7
Protagonist: Well met, Captain.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJtqO3Agyi
(Lord Preen looks thoughtful)
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PqcTiDbLF
Lord Preen: Why is the Order of The Dragoon so vehemently opposed to Æther technology, may I inquire?
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRqd1LUMMG
Adepetus Æther: The Order of the Dragoon opposes Æther technology on grounds of ethics, fearing the disruptive change it brings.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagmHt58tov
Protagonist: I heard Ser Draconis had his doubts about the Order before he was slain.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsf42vjLYl
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtDJ0ulyUe
Lord Preen: Pray tell, whom leads their misguided cause? Is it one grand puppeteer pulling the strings or a cabal of instigators?
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbQCRS8Zq6
Adepetus Æther: Archmage Drakonvyr. He guides their actions, a formidable figure in their ranks. They rally under his banner.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44fxtSWXK8
(The sky pirate has noticed Preens Accent)
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52YNr1D3p2
Captain Star-Caster: Ah, I'd recognise that Narcissian lilt anywhere. Thou art from the city of Narciss, art thou not?
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eOKNyj24g
Lord Preen: Ah, Narciss, where the sun seldom graces the land, and my dear father, Earl Bigot, is determined to ensure his legacy.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsQI1RomE5
(The Adepetus Æther's demeanour shifts to unease)
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTe0k14RXDh
Adepetus Æther: Ru...ru...rumours have reached t-thy ears....of grotesque fleshy b-biomechanical contraptions and the h-h-hapless s-s-souls....
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbyHSoVifj
Lord Preen: Fleshy biomechanical machines? By the heavens, that sounds horrible. The thought of such horrors in my beloved Narciss does trouble me.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAqh5efDEZ
Protagonist: Indeed, Lord Preen, Narciss seems to be in turmoil. But we shalt fret not over rumours with no evidence.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgr5qQnGFn
(The lights dim to nothing)
