Act 1 Scene 1:
We are introduced to a bustling area. The Æther Dock: A bustling, steampunk harbour where airships dominate the skies and the unknown awaits at every corner)

(The protagonist and Lord Preen step onto the stage, wearing futuristic attire that still retains elements of their original wardrobe)
284Please respect copyright.PENANAFmAh1nHdq2
Protagonist: (Looking around at the unfamiliar place) This place... it is so different.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAiXsblOBi4b
Lord Preen: (Emphasizing) Æther has changed everything.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAPhEEZQ1dJV
Protagonist: (Confused) Æther?
284Please respect copyright.PENANApfGiRtPQA1
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAkfvrFE0rEJ
Protagonist: (Intrigued) Adapetus Mechanical, the brilliant inventor from the past. How wondrous it would be for him to witness these advancements.
284Please respect copyright.PENANALNR7TLY1FO
Lord Preen: Truly, it is none other than Adapetus Æther, the pupil of Adapetus Mechanical, who delves into this new technology.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAGcw0twMSJP
Protagonist: (surprised) Adapetus Æther? Another Adapetus? This is most unexpected!
284Please respect copyright.PENANAjK8YEeV9Cr
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAjSmbegXzyy
(The protagonist and Lord Preen walk past the imposing Æther Machine, her wings beginning to glow and hum as they near it)
284Please respect copyright.PENANAY1NDUgcfqW
Protagonist: (Surprised) My, these wings do shine and hum most peculiarly.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAG3TGuHvBhl
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAUQTPdEJR54
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.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAgDlEjWx69m
Protagonist: (Deadpan) More Adepti, more enigma. It's as if our lives are scenes in a play.
284Please respect copyright.PENANAavRiOWpSV0
Lord Preen: (with a wry smirk) Doth it not seen our lives are but scripted for dramatic theatrics?
