(The Adapetus Æther decides to introduce himself cautiously)
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFNLCmfy8e
Adapetus Æther: Greetings, Earl Bigot, I am the Adapetus Æther. I have heard much about your endeavours. Pray, what can thou tell us about the remarkable Dreadnought that rules your navy?
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8fBsJr82t
Earl Bigot: Indeed, I have heard of you, of course. The monumental advancements we have achieved would have remained an unattainable dream without your ground-breaking discovery. I must express that there is someone here, filled with admiration, yearning for the opportunity to meet you.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3yTyoc3VO
Adapetus Æther: Who might that be, Earl Bigot?
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1TJZzAuLp
Earl Bigot: (Cryptically) Ah, my dear Adapetus Æther, the enigma of that question. Thou shalt soon find out. All in good time, for the threads of fate weave intricate patterns.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7m0ME3SrpL
(Before the Adapetus can respond the protagonist decides to join in)
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdvNBZ9ESi
Protagonist: (Innocent) Oh, it is an absolute honour to meet you, Earl Bigot. I have heard so much about the wondrous beauty of Narciss, and I am just thrilled to be here!
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68AAGY2im5
Earl Bigot: (With a hint of surprise, studying the protagonist's wings) Wings, an enchanting sight, reminiscent of a past endeavour. I once asked for such beauty, though fate took an intriguing turn, evidently. A testament to the unforeseen.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2s33rLLEkU
Lord Preen: (Nervously, with a hint of bitterness) Father, it has been some time. Your sudden interest in progress is rather surprising, but I see that you have managed to build quite the spectacle here in Narciss.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFMV561Yb7
Earl Bigot: (Grandly) Preen, my heir, how the passing years have kept us apart. The realm of Narciss, fuelled by my vision and your legacy, stands as a testament to the grandeur we can achieve together.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQiMwbDtfv
(Captain Star-Caster enters the scene)
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgwjXUI7Sf
Earl Bigot: Ah, Captain Star-Caster, your unwavering loyalty to Narciss has not escaped my perceptive eye. I trust you have gleaned more than mere pleasantries during your tenure with these esteemed guests. Enlighten us with the valuable secrets you’ve skilfully uncovered.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPz13EIi1hF
Captain Star-Caster: Your Eminence, it hath been an honour to serve. I've keenly observed the Adapetus Æther's diplomatic manoeuvres, delving into the intricacies of alliances and potential threats. The dance of politics is as captivating as ever, and I've made note of every step.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7glyJauqXV
Earl Bigot: (Nodding) Excellent. Information is power, and your role in acquiring it is invaluable. Illuminate us with the nuanced details you've discovered, for Narciss thrives on staying one step ahead in this grand waltz of intrigue.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLJ9uXdNOy
Captain Star-Caster: Your Eminence, the Adapetus Æther is tirelessly refining the Ætheric technologies of the Æther Defence Fleet, however they remain oblivious to our technological strides—embodied by our concealed Dreadnought and Wraiths—the Order of the Dragoon persists in targeting Ætheric advancements. I’ve also confirmed the authenticity of the troubling rumours surrounding Ætheric storms and the Æther Sickness. Moreover, the ÆDF deploys advanced Vanguards, lethal strikers at the forefront of their squadrons.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2v5unTkCs
Earl Bigot: (Smirking) Ah, the intricacies of politics and warfare never fail to fascinate. Your diligence, Captain Star-Caster, is commendable. Information indeed is power, and your revelations provide valuable insights into the delicate dance of power and innovation. Continue to unravel these threads; we must be well-versed in every strand that we may weave the future of Narciss to our advantage.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEs5LRB9Af
Adapetus Æther: (With a stern glare) Captain Star-Caster, how long have your eyes been piercing the veil of our endeavours? Your loyalty seems to have wandered into the realm of espionage.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxviyXA4gWp
Captain Star-Caster: Adapetus Æther, in the mineral transporters of Xyrolith, my unparalleled skills soared unnoticed. High-Exarch Onyx, blinded by her misplaced compassion, denied me the recognition I deserved. Frustrated and disregarded, I embarked on the clandestine journey of espionage, driven by the desire to demonstrate that strength, not misguided compassion, should propel Narciss to unprecedented heights.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhE4WKFqjT
Earl Bigot: Captain Star-Caster, return to the docks and await further instructions. Ambassador Vanity, escort the fair maiden to a bedroom. Lord Preen, Adapetus Æther, I have something to show both of you. Follow me
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsjJZlMoeq
(Captain Star-Caster leaves the stage, followed by Ambassador Vanity and the protagonist, finally Earl Bigot, Lord Preen and the Adapetus Æther leave)
