The people come in and they are Otto Klopp, the master of mechaniks, and Count Volger, his fencing master. They woke him, to tell him that he was going to be operating a walker in the nighttime. Meanwhile on the Darwinist side of things the main character is a girl named Deryn Sharp. Deryn wanted to pass the Air Force middy test.

In Kurt Vonnegut’s novel Galápagos, Vonnegut establishes the bulk of the story from his writing style.

Moreau uses vivisection to try to turn animal into man. The beast folk are his attempts at this experiment. Moreau wants to create humans from animals, but in doing so he actually creates a form of creature that is neither quite animal or human, and therefore this creature is more isolated from the world.
