(The protagonist and Lord Preen step onto the stage, wearing futuristic attire that still retains elements of their original wardrobe)
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeduS2MPD3
Protagonist: (Looking around at the unfamiliar place) This place... it is so different.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFosB02RzfW
Lord Preen: (Emphasizing) Æther has changed everything.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3f6BKRDpD
Protagonist: (Confused) Æther?
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGuTnUsFu6
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.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb13pRFq7Qs
Protagonist: (Intrigued) Adapetus Mechanical, the brilliant inventor from the past. How wondrous it would be for him to witness these advancements.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDm9J2Gg2gY
Lord Preen: Truly, it is none other than Adapetus Æther, the pupil of Adapetus Mechanical, who delves into this new technology.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAsXIpY0aG
Protagonist: (surprised) Adapetus Æther? Another Adapetus? This is most unexpected!
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡie8y9ZQk8x
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)
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTet00oduJ
Protagonist: (Surprised) My, these wings do shine and hum most peculiarly.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttnjdlXX2e
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.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpqRfLPFAw
Lord Preen: (with a wry smirk) Doth it not seen our lives are but scripted for dramatic theatrics?
