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.
