(The protagonist and Lord Preen step onto the stage, wearing futuristic attire that still retains elements of their original wardrobe)
305Please respect copyright.PENANA6kbVDpZjIk
Protagonist: (Looking around at the unfamiliar place) This place... it is so different.
305Please respect copyright.PENANAOuswMuNU2f
Lord Preen: (Emphasizing) Æther has changed everything.
305Please respect copyright.PENANAuPdUa9EagB
Protagonist: (Confused) Æther?
305Please respect copyright.PENANAUxq28qVvOF
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.
305Please respect copyright.PENANAZlyaEsK7z7
Protagonist: (Intrigued) Adapetus Mechanical, the brilliant inventor from the past. How wondrous it would be for him to witness these advancements.
305Please respect copyright.PENANAvvKQYNErPi
Lord Preen: Truly, it is none other than Adapetus Æther, the pupil of Adapetus Mechanical, who delves into this new technology.
305Please respect copyright.PENANA9GzchfaI63
Protagonist: (surprised) Adapetus Æther? Another Adapetus? This is most unexpected!
305Please respect copyright.PENANAm3ulFMjSlW
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.
305Please respect copyright.PENANAS2DHKN7Xem
(The protagonist and Lord Preen walk past the imposing Æther Machine, her wings beginning to glow and hum as they near it)
305Please respect copyright.PENANAKt5RTD6jHN
Protagonist: (Surprised) My, these wings do shine and hum most peculiarly.
305Please respect copyright.PENANAmRCs1dOrEb
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.
305Please respect copyright.PENANAmeAqL9Ak6U
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.
305Please respect copyright.PENANAFLlNO2hnfr
Protagonist: (Deadpan) More Adepti, more enigma. It's as if our lives are scenes in a play.
305Please respect copyright.PENANAoABDvOv6DB
Lord Preen: (with a wry smirk) Doth it not seen our lives are but scripted for dramatic theatrics?
