-¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ 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 ¨¨¨¨¨¨-=;*
