Adapetus Mechanical (A.M): Beware, ye daring interlopers, for thou hast trespassed upon the realm of thyself, the Adapetus Mechanical The maestro of machines! The sultan of steam! What dire purpose hath guided thee to these elevated chamber of fine, mechanical marvels? Dost Thou seek enlightenment regarding those majestic wings? Or art thou merely enticed by the resounding thunder of my ingenious contraptions? Speak thou intentions swiftly, for the skys canvas is a precarious precipice indeed! And here nought is as it may seem.

Protagonist: (Softly) I must admit, I am filled with worry at the idea of boarding this contraption. The skies have always been so vast and open, and this flying machine seems unsafe. Can we truly trust this eccentric inventor, Ser?
