Act 1 Scene 1:
We are introduced to a bustling area. The Æther Dock: A bustling, steampunk harbour where airships dominate the skies and the unknown awaits at every corner)

(The protagonist and Lord Preen step onto the stage, wearing futuristic attire that still retains elements of their original wardrobe)
256Please respect copyright.PENANAVqax1azDA7
Protagonist: (Looking around at the unfamiliar place) This place... it is so different.
256Please respect copyright.PENANAv2JH5yklzY
Lord Preen: (Emphasizing) Æther has changed everything.
256Please respect copyright.PENANAyMYojNjgyh
Protagonist: (Confused) Æther?
256Please respect copyright.PENANAGtvUtedpRf
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.
256Please respect copyright.PENANAk2SxAIx4R0
Protagonist: (Intrigued) Adapetus Mechanical, the brilliant inventor from the past. How wondrous it would be for him to witness these advancements.
256Please respect copyright.PENANAYVxwrLpM06
Lord Preen: Truly, it is none other than Adapetus Æther, the pupil of Adapetus Mechanical, who delves into this new technology.
256Please respect copyright.PENANAJTL3bfV3Oa
Protagonist: (surprised) Adapetus Æther? Another Adapetus? This is most unexpected!
256Please respect copyright.PENANAIKMYbNG3z0
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.
256Please respect copyright.PENANA7B3GsP4EpS
(The protagonist and Lord Preen walk past the imposing Æther Machine, her wings beginning to glow and hum as they near it)
256Please respect copyright.PENANAEPMEVevOkD
Protagonist: (Surprised) My, these wings do shine and hum most peculiarly.
256Please respect copyright.PENANAA6yRGc3XaY
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.
256Please respect copyright.PENANAAQDxc0iuAj
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.
256Please respect copyright.PENANAAmgsCD7pRj
Protagonist: (Deadpan) More Adepti, more enigma. It's as if our lives are scenes in a play.
256Please respect copyright.PENANAe55LbuxHSA
Lord Preen: (with a wry smirk) Doth it not seen our lives are but scripted for dramatic theatrics?
