(The protagonist and Lord Preen step onto the stage, wearing futuristic attire that still retains elements of their original wardrobe)
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITzePfjUIO
Protagonist: (Looking around at the unfamiliar place) This place... it is so different.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoSiB8ygyi
Lord Preen: (Emphasizing) Æther has changed everything.

Protagonist: (Confused) Æther?
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1FkCbu9E9
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.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvHwbHWL31
Protagonist: (Intrigued) Adapetus Mechanical, the brilliant inventor from the past. How wondrous it would be for him to witness these advancements.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgarS6LWjPU
Lord Preen: Truly, it is none other than Adapetus Æther, the pupil of Adapetus Mechanical, who delves into this new technology.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcTq7weCEh
Protagonist: (surprised) Adapetus Æther? Another Adapetus? This is most unexpected!
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNPf3widdS
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)
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFKcShsxnZ
Protagonist: (Surprised) My, these wings do shine and hum most peculiarly.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiD1NfFBMC
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.
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHe1CSHT0Y
Lord Preen: (with a wry smirk) Doth it not seen our lives are but scripted for dramatic theatrics?
