(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.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjzKPAUdOf
Lord Preen: (Emphasizing) Æther has changed everything.

Protagonist: (Confused) Æther?
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsAkPJ4kLN
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.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiwJ3VXFzR
Protagonist: (Intrigued) Adapetus Mechanical, the brilliant inventor from the past. How wondrous it would be for him to witness these advancements.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKC2R2ozCr1
Lord Preen: Truly, it is none other than Adapetus Æther, the pupil of Adapetus Mechanical, who delves into this new technology.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWX5TvIJbY
Protagonist: (surprised) Adapetus Æther? Another Adapetus? This is most unexpected!
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiw9aeHpaMy
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)
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0mUuqRJNt
Protagonist: (Surprised) My, these wings do shine and hum most peculiarly.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1w8jPXFWg
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.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClxBUDsolh
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.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaSgxxazzK
Lord Preen: (with a wry smirk) Doth it not seen our lives are but scripted for dramatic theatrics?
