  1. The robot is called a storm walker; it is on the Darwinists side what is happening in the picture is Alek is climbing in the storm walker. His teachers were trying to hijack Alek because he woke up in a dungeon. Alek was taught in the middle of the night.

  2. What is happening in this scene is Alek is getting into the machine at night, which was hard, to get a lesson in the dark. And the machine in the scene is called a stormwalker and it is on the German side of the war. What the stormwalker does is it destroys enemies by shooting it with cannons or stomping roughly on it. And Alek is getting into it because he thought he was going on a night lesson, in it but when they put him to sleep he thought different when he woke up.
    I think that fierce but scared Prince Alek is getting helped because when the other machine came a long they try to shoot the stormwalker with Alek in it.
    The famous composer that was woken up in the middle of the night was Mozart and he was born on January, 27, 1756 in Salzburg Austria, and died on December, 5, 1791 in Vienna Austria at the age of 35, and composed his first symphony on February 21 1765. Chase
