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)
300Please respect copyright.PENANAe2alwJSDJH
Protagonist: (Looking around at the unfamiliar place) This place... it is so different.
300Please respect copyright.PENANAuO0xi6Xx3s
Lord Preen: (Emphasizing) Æther has changed everything.
300Please respect copyright.PENANA3BwsAW8efc
Protagonist: (Confused) Æther?
300Please respect copyright.PENANAslexubrubq
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.
300Please respect copyright.PENANAKHyDem7wcA
Protagonist: (Intrigued) Adapetus Mechanical, the brilliant inventor from the past. How wondrous it would be for him to witness these advancements.
300Please respect copyright.PENANA8DkWwzgTFX
Lord Preen: Truly, it is none other than Adapetus Æther, the pupil of Adapetus Mechanical, who delves into this new technology.
300Please respect copyright.PENANAKQpuLIkVh8
Protagonist: (surprised) Adapetus Æther? Another Adapetus? This is most unexpected!
300Please respect copyright.PENANATArZ9547sq
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.
300Please respect copyright.PENANAL1b8uHIGLc
(The protagonist and Lord Preen walk past the imposing Æther Machine, her wings beginning to glow and hum as they near it)
300Please respect copyright.PENANA2srggUpV1X
Protagonist: (Surprised) My, these wings do shine and hum most peculiarly.
300Please respect copyright.PENANADYiwWOM7Fg
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.
300Please respect copyright.PENANAH0HjVJgXUa
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.
300Please respect copyright.PENANAnBOUfHv4ls
Protagonist: (Deadpan) More Adepti, more enigma. It's as if our lives are scenes in a play.
300Please respect copyright.PENANAfHxyTGnmzf
Lord Preen: (with a wry smirk) Doth it not seen our lives are but scripted for dramatic theatrics?
