#@@£%††~~¨ sound a horn, nudge the animal a ¨~~††%£@@#
@%%††~¨¨¨¨ little, but ultimately wait it out. ¨¨¨¨~††%%@
##@£%††~~¨ although they will log video, no call ¨~~††%£@##
£†††~~¨¨¨¨ will be made for any outside ¨¨¨¨~~†††£
@££†††~~~¨ assistance. this is very good. ¨~~~†††££@
##@@%††~~¨ ¨~~††%@@##
#@@£%††~~¨ the railmakers are siemens-manufactured ¨~~††%£@@#
@@@£%††~~¨ brick-like things. fields of gray and ¨~~††%£@@@
£†~¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ teal, floodlights, thrumming and ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨~†£
@£%%†††~~¨ hissing. trilling to each other, like ¨~~†††%%£@
@%†~¨¨¨¨¨¨ language. and here, three of them, ¨¨¨¨¨¨~†%@
##@£%††~~¨ slowly making their way through the ¨~~††%£@##
##@£%††~~¨ dense forest. ¨~~††%£@##
##@£%††~~¨ ¨~~††%£@##
#@@£%††~~¨ i'm coming up on them from behind and ¨~~††%£@@#
#@@£%††~~¨ to the left, hidden behind the thick ¨~~††%£@@#
#@@£%††~~¨ foliage. their light finds the gaps ¨~~††%£@@#
@££†††~¨¨¨ between the leaves, casting rays ¨¨¨~†††££@
@%%††††~~¨ through the wet air, playing over my ¨~~††††%%@
#@@£%††~~¨ face and arms, and my weapon. i quickly ¨~~††%£@@#
£†~¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ overtake them, crouch in the ditch made ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨~†£
#@@£%††~~¨ by the preprocessor, and watch. one of ¨~~††%£@@#
@@%%††~~~¨ them is already a bit behind the ¨~~~††%%@@
£££%†~¨¨¨¨ others. it will be my target. ¨¨¨¨~†%£££
@£††~~¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨~~††£@
@@@£%††~~¨ just as the light of the leading two is ¨~~††%£@@@
£†~~¨¨¨¨¨¨ dimming, i deploy the rabbits, throwing ¨¨¨¨¨¨~~†£
££%†~¨¨¨¨¨ them in the path of my prey. the ¨¨¨¨¨~†%££
#@@£%††~~¨ creatures are yet alive, but maimed so ¨~~††%£@@#
@%%†~~¨¨¨¨ as to be unable to move - they will ¨¨¨¨~~†%%@
#@@£%††~~¨ stay in the path of the railmaker, ¨~~††%£@@#
#@@£%††~~¨ forcing it to pause, further separating ¨~~††%£@@#
#@@£%††~~¨ it from its two friends. ¨~~††%£@@#

#@@£%††~~¨ £ another thing about the machines: £ ¨~~††%£@@#
@£††††~¨¨¨ £ there's flesh inside them. £££££££££££ ¨¨¨~††††£@
@@@£%††~~¨ ££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££ not meat, ¨~~††%£@@@
@@£††††~~¨ but something like a liver, that will ¨~~††††£@@
@@@£%††~~¨ keep the railmakers internal chemistry ¨~~††%£@@@
@£%†~¨¨¨¨¨ well away from their various exhausts. ¨¨¨¨¨~†%£@
££££%††~~¨ ¨~~††%££££
£††~~¨¨¨¨¨ a liver that, as long as you manage to ¨¨¨¨¨~~††£
#@@£%††~~¨ keep it alive, can clean the creek ¨~~††%£@@#
@£%†~~~~~¨ water enough for it to be drinkable. ¨~~~~~†%£@
££%††~~~~¨ ¨~~~~††%££
#@@£%††~~¨ which is why i'm here. ¨~~††%£@@#
