@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨ 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. ¨@¨@¨@¨@¨¨

@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨ ¨@¨@¨@¨@¨¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨ a liver that, as long as you manage to ¨@¨@¨@¨@¨@
