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)
250Please respect copyright.PENANAES4wlZGrTX
Protagonist: (Looking around at the unfamiliar place) This place... it is so different.
250Please respect copyright.PENANAlw7GlX9vVV
Lord Preen: (Emphasizing) Æther has changed everything.
250Please respect copyright.PENANAqe4HFRNZ1L
Protagonist: (Confused) Æther?
250Please respect copyright.PENANAFFNLhT2VaP
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.
250Please respect copyright.PENANAkMk2GyvdWf
Protagonist: (Intrigued) Adapetus Mechanical, the brilliant inventor from the past. How wondrous it would be for him to witness these advancements.
250Please respect copyright.PENANAP9xopAPTgT
Lord Preen: Truly, it is none other than Adapetus Æther, the pupil of Adapetus Mechanical, who delves into this new technology.
250Please respect copyright.PENANA47GUSwJaIQ
Protagonist: (surprised) Adapetus Æther? Another Adapetus? This is most unexpected!
250Please respect copyright.PENANAU08R3NBLcy
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.
250Please respect copyright.PENANAtMUsbOMpgR
(The protagonist and Lord Preen walk past the imposing Æther Machine, her wings beginning to glow and hum as they near it)
250Please respect copyright.PENANAG82nUobXzf
Protagonist: (Surprised) My, these wings do shine and hum most peculiarly.
250Please respect copyright.PENANANJFPME0cpO
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.
250Please respect copyright.PENANASSj0eJo2Ic
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.
250Please respect copyright.PENANA8AESdWPzdf
Protagonist: (Deadpan) More Adepti, more enigma. It's as if our lives are scenes in a play.
250Please respect copyright.PENANAVoNGaJhDvn
Lord Preen: (with a wry smirk) Doth it not seen our lives are but scripted for dramatic theatrics?
