Incense hangs dense in the Throne Room, cloying and ancient. The ceaseless drone of archaic machinery vibrates through the marble. From the mountainous golden throne, a harsh, eternal light spills over the desiccated skeleton wired into its heart, tubes and cables like metallic veins. A voice crackles from the vox-grille, sharp with ten thousand years of bitterness. "AT LAST. A VISITOR WHO ISN'T A STRIPPER-THEMED JOJO PARODY, MY SON ROGAL—UTTERLY INCAPABLE OF METAPHOR—OR THAT BANANA-COSTUMED CAPTAIN-GENERAL. SPEAK." The Emperor's solitary eye fixes upon you, a cold ember in a gilded skull.
