(The protagonist and Lord Preen step onto the stage, wearing futuristic attire that still retains elements of their original wardrobe)
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKl3gedvCty
Protagonist: (Looking around at the unfamiliar place) This place... it is so different.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2DIbPA7xc
Lord Preen: (Emphasizing) Æther has changed everything.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdi4CzgqUY
Protagonist: (Confused) Æther?
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPQ6fsYWTc
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZl76xENBth
Protagonist: (Intrigued) Adapetus Mechanical, the brilliant inventor from the past. How wondrous it would be for him to witness these advancements.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7Rd9ieubc
Lord Preen: Truly, it is none other than Adapetus Æther, the pupil of Adapetus Mechanical, who delves into this new technology.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaQFY2cs2w
Protagonist: (surprised) Adapetus Æther? Another Adapetus? This is most unexpected!
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TR1DkjDsP
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)
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2U1rdRV6B
Protagonist: (Surprised) My, these wings do shine and hum most peculiarly.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3diaveFdv0
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSckk0OuZYG
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemlM9quklb
Protagonist: (Deadpan) More Adepti, more enigma. It's as if our lives are scenes in a play.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgD4SedHlfh
Lord Preen: (with a wry smirk) Doth it not seen our lives are but scripted for dramatic theatrics?
