(The protagonist and Lord Preen step onto the stage, wearing futuristic attire that still retains elements of their original wardrobe)
336Please respect copyright.PENANA9alBTgz6MA
Protagonist: (Looking around at the unfamiliar place) This place... it is so different.
336Please respect copyright.PENANAqWRr8x3k6q
Lord Preen: (Emphasizing) Æther has changed everything.
336Please respect copyright.PENANALWMArUPsm2
Protagonist: (Confused) Æther?
336Please respect copyright.PENANAyyjCuBBMi8
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.
336Please respect copyright.PENANAQVdcR85V5S
Protagonist: (Intrigued) Adapetus Mechanical, the brilliant inventor from the past. How wondrous it would be for him to witness these advancements.
336Please respect copyright.PENANA8bkVCJR2Cn
Lord Preen: Truly, it is none other than Adapetus Æther, the pupil of Adapetus Mechanical, who delves into this new technology.
336Please respect copyright.PENANAs7jeZuKjqT
Protagonist: (surprised) Adapetus Æther? Another Adapetus? This is most unexpected!
336Please respect copyright.PENANATfxtGfdpsi
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.
336Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8giifXzRd
(The protagonist and Lord Preen walk past the imposing Æther Machine, her wings beginning to glow and hum as they near it)
336Please respect copyright.PENANAqn38kF51M5
Protagonist: (Surprised) My, these wings do shine and hum most peculiarly.
336Please respect copyright.PENANA2UrGg0ZRL2
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.
336Please respect copyright.PENANApfDLxDEzx3
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.
336Please respect copyright.PENANAtFuGTevTuT
Protagonist: (Deadpan) More Adepti, more enigma. It's as if our lives are scenes in a play.
336Please respect copyright.PENANAQuNC7vYc53
Lord Preen: (with a wry smirk) Doth it not seen our lives are but scripted for dramatic theatrics?
