(The protagonist and Lord Preen step onto the stage, wearing futuristic attire that still retains elements of their original wardrobe)
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpc0eknZBW
Protagonist: (Looking around at the unfamiliar place) This place... it is so different.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4F9TwxAM0
Lord Preen: (Emphasizing) Æther has changed everything.

Protagonist: (Confused) Æther?
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXm8CP3wmb
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Q2EM7oPmW
Protagonist: (Intrigued) Adapetus Mechanical, the brilliant inventor from the past. How wondrous it would be for him to witness these advancements.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMZZEXZLtp
Lord Preen: Truly, it is none other than Adapetus Æther, the pupil of Adapetus Mechanical, who delves into this new technology.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQA56egWzf
Protagonist: (surprised) Adapetus Æther? Another Adapetus? This is most unexpected!
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42pM6YxAc5
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)
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWk2t0dJcs
Protagonist: (Surprised) My, these wings do shine and hum most peculiarly.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hJ0TYl4TY
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtaGf3sC07
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOO3s3DkVf
Lord Preen: (with a wry smirk) Doth it not seen our lives are but scripted for dramatic theatrics?
