(The protagonist and Lord Preen step onto the stage, wearing futuristic attire that still retains elements of their original wardrobe)
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmV1TLcfn4
Protagonist: (Looking around at the unfamiliar place) This place... it is so different.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMWqm3Haj2
Lord Preen: (Emphasizing) Æther has changed everything.

Protagonist: (Confused) Æther?
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBKRTfbe93
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aGWKPXwNT
Protagonist: (Intrigued) Adapetus Mechanical, the brilliant inventor from the past. How wondrous it would be for him to witness these advancements.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG12sr41WaP
Lord Preen: Truly, it is none other than Adapetus Æther, the pupil of Adapetus Mechanical, who delves into this new technology.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAWlhbdqCF
Protagonist: (surprised) Adapetus Æther? Another Adapetus? This is most unexpected!
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DkguOfGr4
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)
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe99kEcB89c
Protagonist: (Surprised) My, these wings do shine and hum most peculiarly.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbPS7ykJVH
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFV1TKxClRt
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbltKJmvhY
Protagonist: (Deadpan) More Adepti, more enigma. It's as if our lives are scenes in a play.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcW9XMCQ82O
Lord Preen: (with a wry smirk) Doth it not seen our lives are but scripted for dramatic theatrics?
