&,,,&&&,,, & 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. ,,&&&,,,,,
