(The protagonist and Lord Preen step onto the stage, wearing futuristic attire that still retains elements of their original wardrobe)
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGT4QGR3d1V
Protagonist: (Looking around at the unfamiliar place) This place... it is so different.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq480yBFZBG
Lord Preen: (Emphasizing) Æther has changed everything.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdzSa8BzQ2
Protagonist: (Confused) Æther?
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtf6uRdgbe4
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCcbTY2ErI
Protagonist: (Intrigued) Adapetus Mechanical, the brilliant inventor from the past. How wondrous it would be for him to witness these advancements.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8Gk6RSmiW
Lord Preen: Truly, it is none other than Adapetus Æther, the pupil of Adapetus Mechanical, who delves into this new technology.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMiKjCdUMO
Protagonist: (surprised) Adapetus Æther? Another Adapetus? This is most unexpected!
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCJOfuiX46
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)
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuOyTyAfUh
Protagonist: (Surprised) My, these wings do shine and hum most peculiarly.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULd6R5AT7s
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChDqF6TfUo
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0uMM3GVQx
Protagonist: (Deadpan) More Adepti, more enigma. It's as if our lives are scenes in a play.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYH8wLaovJW
Lord Preen: (with a wry smirk) Doth it not seen our lives are but scripted for dramatic theatrics?
