(The protagonist and Lord Preen step onto the stage, wearing futuristic attire that still retains elements of their original wardrobe)

Protagonist: (Looking around at the unfamiliar place) This place... it is so different.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJbXZDk1TW
Lord Preen: (Emphasizing) Æther has changed everything.

Protagonist: (Confused) Æther?
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCXOEnbYmk
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.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4wTN4LJtr
Protagonist: (Intrigued) Adapetus Mechanical, the brilliant inventor from the past. How wondrous it would be for him to witness these advancements.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUNLBaN9aF
Lord Preen: Truly, it is none other than Adapetus Æther, the pupil of Adapetus Mechanical, who delves into this new technology.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBYMWOi66t
Protagonist: (surprised) Adapetus Æther? Another Adapetus? This is most unexpected!
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6bGSpUUUD
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)
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvOhzxIQc7
Protagonist: (Surprised) My, these wings do shine and hum most peculiarly.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbaC9Tir5E
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.

Protagonist: (Deadpan) More Adepti, more enigma. It's as if our lives are scenes in a play.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0gIe8SH9M
Lord Preen: (with a wry smirk) Doth it not seen our lives are but scripted for dramatic theatrics?
