(The protagonist and Lord Preen step onto the stage, wearing futuristic attire that still retains elements of their original wardrobe)
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQTv2wEkQc
Protagonist: (Looking around at the unfamiliar place) This place... it is so different.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9QEY9lH64
Lord Preen: (Emphasizing) Æther has changed everything.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsjKwsEKHD
Protagonist: (Confused) Æther?
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwfiAcagpz
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.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QbDkz8okc
Protagonist: (Intrigued) Adapetus Mechanical, the brilliant inventor from the past. How wondrous it would be for him to witness these advancements.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRb9M3UMfgP
Lord Preen: Truly, it is none other than Adapetus Æther, the pupil of Adapetus Mechanical, who delves into this new technology.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzELbZMtrha
Protagonist: (surprised) Adapetus Æther? Another Adapetus? This is most unexpected!
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GOuHeXEfX
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)
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8Qdxy45sQ
Protagonist: (Surprised) My, these wings do shine and hum most peculiarly.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2nObY8yR1
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.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91tSdgF7Tb
Lord Preen: (with a wry smirk) Doth it not seen our lives are but scripted for dramatic theatrics?
