AUTONOMOUS RAILMAKERS WILL NOTICE     
  WILDLIFE IN THEIR PATH AND STOP,      
  
 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.
