Act 1 Scene 2:
(As our characters step into the workshop, they find an array of unfinished contraptions scattered around, bearing witness to the ceaseless creativity and innovation that takes place within these walls)
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBZfvSNcnC
Protagonist: (curious) What is this curious contraption? Thy wonder if...
(She reaches out to touch it)
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyvCtXoOeg
Unknown: (franticly) Stop! Do not touch anything! Thou have no idea what that machine may do!
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTjaFnIw2r
Lord Preen: Who art thou?
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1Vtk56X7C
Unknown: Behold! Ye hast intruded upon the domain of...well, it is I, the Adapetus Æther! Master of, uh, Æther-fuelled wonders and...conductor of the Etheric symphony, yes!
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADajFOkn23
Lord Preen: Thou remind me of the Adapetus Mechanical, who dabbled in quite a similar field. A predecessor of thou, perhaps?
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3e85Umef1
Adapetus Æther: Indeed...I was his student, or rather, a bumbling novice under his wing. Do thou perchance know what became of him?
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7jWR6m4EH
Protagonist: (Sadly remembering what happened) It was the End of All who claimed him, a malevolent figure whose name is a grim testament to the tragic end he met.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kvKLvJiY2
Lord Preen: (remembering the humour of AMs ‘ last moments) Indeed, he met his end in a manner that even the End of All couldn’t comprehend. Laughing his way into the abyss, he was.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8BkzS8S6H
Adapetus Æther: (Nervously) A tragic end, indeed. But, um, why have you ventured into my humble workshop? Is there something amiss, or.... or perhaps you have well, been followed?
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgap42idWk
Protagonist: In pursuit of your esteemed self, the renowned Adapetus Æther, we arrived at this destination. A peculiar event unfolded when our wings seemed to react to an Æther Machine on these premises.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSaAoJgIie
Adapetus Æther: Fascinating. Perhaps we could replicate it once more. Can thou make it happen again?
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEwLY4QWfq
(Stage direction: Lights on the wings and use the humming sound)
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZB2pgR93O
She approaches an active machine, and the wings once again start to hum and glow)
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAtJlPkaeA
Adepetus Æther: By the Heavens! This is most intriguing! What manner of enchantment lies within those wings?
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YoNkDil8r
(The door bursts open, and a female sky pirate enters, she is visibly fuming)
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4cpgl7bxI
Angry Person: Blast it all, Adapetus! The Dragoons sabotaged the test again. They despise our Æther technology, and I fear they shalt not stop until they have seen it all reduced to scrap!
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgk6WO5N6h
Adapetus Æther: Allow me to introduce thee to a fellow companion of the skies. This fiery soul sails the skies by the name of Captain Selene Star-Caster. A skilled pioneer of aeronautics.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrSp22XTEe
Protagonist: Well met, Captain.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqhuRacQCS
(Lord Preen looks thoughtful)
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrjVItb9Q7
Lord Preen: Why is the Order of The Dragoon so vehemently opposed to Æther technology, may I inquire?
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIyxvzXJAh
Adepetus Æther: The Order of the Dragoon opposes Æther technology on grounds of ethics, fearing the disruptive change it brings.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVcjTf7YED
Protagonist: I heard Ser Draconis had his doubts about the Order before he was slain.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasaxNQtBti
Captain Star-Caster: Aye, he did. The Order, they are a secretive lot, quite aggressive to anything that has the potential to change the balance of power. Ser Draconis was a voice of reason among them.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLXsUexU7n
Lord Preen: Pray tell, whom leads their misguided cause? Is it one grand puppeteer pulling the strings or a cabal of instigators?
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2Icb6HWuX
Adepetus Æther: Archmage Drakonvyr. He guides their actions, a formidable figure in their ranks. They rally under his banner.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNDpfuqXOB
(The sky pirate has noticed Preens Accent)
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGNleH2PmG
Captain Star-Caster: Ah, I'd recognise that Narcissian lilt anywhere. Thou art from the city of Narciss, art thou not?
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpS2FnKpE8Z
Lord Preen: Ah, Narciss, where the sun seldom graces the land, and my dear father, Earl Bigot, is determined to ensure his legacy.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCqHHhgpcN
(The Adepetus Æther's demeanour shifts to unease)
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kzARCh77a
Adepetus Æther: Ru...ru...rumours have reached t-thy ears....of grotesque fleshy b-biomechanical contraptions and the h-h-hapless s-s-souls....
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoTnXpmbr9
Lord Preen: Fleshy biomechanical machines? By the heavens, that sounds horrible. The thought of such horrors in my beloved Narciss does trouble me.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVQRhWGWy4
Protagonist: Indeed, Lord Preen, Narciss seems to be in turmoil. But we shalt fret not over rumours with no evidence.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFV0CwRYgV
(The lights dim to nothing)
