(The protagonist and Lord Preen step onto the stage, wearing futuristic attire that still retains elements of their original wardrobe)
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCALeADzgQ
Protagonist: (Looking around at the unfamiliar place) This place... it is so different.
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3k1ylhhL0
Lord Preen: (Emphasizing) Æther has changed everything.
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTd0LW1wR6p
Protagonist: (Confused) Æther?
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSTvZt6WYP
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.
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCZv55EzLt
Protagonist: (Intrigued) Adapetus Mechanical, the brilliant inventor from the past. How wondrous it would be for him to witness these advancements.
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFq5GJfuWPF
Lord Preen: Truly, it is none other than Adapetus Æther, the pupil of Adapetus Mechanical, who delves into this new technology.
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzp77tVJcCP
Protagonist: (surprised) Adapetus Æther? Another Adapetus? This is most unexpected!
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1vg1HwjLd
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.

(The protagonist and Lord Preen walk past the imposing Æther Machine, her wings beginning to glow and hum as they near it)
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yv9kandp7
Protagonist: (Surprised) My, these wings do shine and hum most peculiarly.
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEC0Y6TqlC
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.

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.
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdc1NcJf4a
Protagonist: (Deadpan) More Adepti, more enigma. It's as if our lives are scenes in a play.
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMIDtqIp4g
Lord Preen: (with a wry smirk) Doth it not seen our lives are but scripted for dramatic theatrics?
