(The protagonist and Lord Preen step onto the stage, wearing futuristic attire that still retains elements of their original wardrobe)
312Please respect copyright.PENANAZBt70kXcXg
Protagonist: (Looking around at the unfamiliar place) This place... it is so different.
312Please respect copyright.PENANAzAuiyMwXqd
Lord Preen: (Emphasizing) Æther has changed everything.
312Please respect copyright.PENANAYbo9r85JtA
Protagonist: (Confused) Æther?
312Please respect copyright.PENANA8RJvTuVGMJ
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.
312Please respect copyright.PENANAOsswX798WV
Protagonist: (Intrigued) Adapetus Mechanical, the brilliant inventor from the past. How wondrous it would be for him to witness these advancements.
312Please respect copyright.PENANAhVrn6jVNFu
Lord Preen: Truly, it is none other than Adapetus Æther, the pupil of Adapetus Mechanical, who delves into this new technology.
312Please respect copyright.PENANApOcKLZrgdp
Protagonist: (surprised) Adapetus Æther? Another Adapetus? This is most unexpected!
312Please respect copyright.PENANAjamUmyUgPh
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.
312Please respect copyright.PENANAPooASFH4Ta
(The protagonist and Lord Preen walk past the imposing Æther Machine, her wings beginning to glow and hum as they near it)
312Please respect copyright.PENANAE3pNZF5v8t
Protagonist: (Surprised) My, these wings do shine and hum most peculiarly.
312Please respect copyright.PENANAEYITVObicW
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.
312Please respect copyright.PENANAtxvlEU6daV
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.
312Please respect copyright.PENANAOoONydlIl1
Protagonist: (Deadpan) More Adepti, more enigma. It's as if our lives are scenes in a play.
312Please respect copyright.PENANAo1qtW7WovY
Lord Preen: (with a wry smirk) Doth it not seen our lives are but scripted for dramatic theatrics?
