Act 1 Scene 1:
We are introduced to a bustling area. The Æther Dock: A bustling, steampunk harbour where airships dominate the skies and the unknown awaits at every corner)

(The protagonist and Lord Preen step onto the stage, wearing futuristic attire that still retains elements of their original wardrobe)
211Please respect copyright.PENANAAViA3moYnw
Protagonist: (Looking around at the unfamiliar place) This place... it is so different.
211Please respect copyright.PENANApgWmxBG0V5
Lord Preen: (Emphasizing) Æther has changed everything.
211Please respect copyright.PENANATOzy9fGnA1
Protagonist: (Confused) Æther?
211Please respect copyright.PENANAbHZja8GiYp
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.
211Please respect copyright.PENANAOWvIAbWLk3
Protagonist: (Intrigued) Adapetus Mechanical, the brilliant inventor from the past. How wondrous it would be for him to witness these advancements.
211Please respect copyright.PENANAmnhQnxlcQB
Lord Preen: Truly, it is none other than Adapetus Æther, the pupil of Adapetus Mechanical, who delves into this new technology.
211Please respect copyright.PENANAS7uw6wRiUL
Protagonist: (surprised) Adapetus Æther? Another Adapetus? This is most unexpected!
211Please respect copyright.PENANAU1Tw0TQcyo
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.
211Please respect copyright.PENANAWea4IvhDxf
(The protagonist and Lord Preen walk past the imposing Æther Machine, her wings beginning to glow and hum as they near it)
211Please respect copyright.PENANAs2EKffvAkO
Protagonist: (Surprised) My, these wings do shine and hum most peculiarly.
211Please respect copyright.PENANAbbCPK6HERt
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.
211Please respect copyright.PENANAcSvKYT4zI0
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.
211Please respect copyright.PENANAe3rtgw8MCI
Protagonist: (Deadpan) More Adepti, more enigma. It's as if our lives are scenes in a play.
211Please respect copyright.PENANAngrb46z9vW
Lord Preen: (with a wry smirk) Doth it not seen our lives are but scripted for dramatic theatrics?
