(The protagonist and Lord Preen step onto the stage, wearing futuristic attire that still retains elements of their original wardrobe)
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpyerrhSon
Protagonist: (Looking around at the unfamiliar place) This place... it is so different.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQKcmzMKhh
Lord Preen: (Emphasizing) Æther has changed everything.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pSzHXedNk
Protagonist: (Confused) Æther?
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphIjSd8VY6
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCp8jEoz8m
Protagonist: (Intrigued) Adapetus Mechanical, the brilliant inventor from the past. How wondrous it would be for him to witness these advancements.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgirbVESFV
Lord Preen: Truly, it is none other than Adapetus Æther, the pupil of Adapetus Mechanical, who delves into this new technology.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCYSYbTPv9
Protagonist: (surprised) Adapetus Æther? Another Adapetus? This is most unexpected!
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsWWeC5z9k
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)
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaV9vlysbKR
Protagonist: (Surprised) My, these wings do shine and hum most peculiarly.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvGtfuios0
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg62MCepF6v
Protagonist: (Deadpan) More Adepti, more enigma. It's as if our lives are scenes in a play.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pbJLbrqpj
Lord Preen: (with a wry smirk) Doth it not seen our lives are but scripted for dramatic theatrics?
