(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.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVQ6Af2Y5y
Lord Preen: (Emphasizing) Æther has changed everything.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdRcwlI0r0
Protagonist: (Confused) Æther?
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8YnJE4p9O
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.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySOCDUVwua
Protagonist: (Intrigued) Adapetus Mechanical, the brilliant inventor from the past. How wondrous it would be for him to witness these advancements.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ExiltbygK
Lord Preen: Truly, it is none other than Adapetus Æther, the pupil of Adapetus Mechanical, who delves into this new technology.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlHZoNhs0h
Protagonist: (surprised) Adapetus Æther? Another Adapetus? This is most unexpected!
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXyPfOyLjg
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)
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hNU08J1s8
Protagonist: (Surprised) My, these wings do shine and hum most peculiarly.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4ryPTMXZi
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.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuf3LUDw8OL
Protagonist: (Deadpan) More Adepti, more enigma. It's as if our lives are scenes in a play.
191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyip1cyTWHH
Lord Preen: (with a wry smirk) Doth it not seen our lives are but scripted for dramatic theatrics?
