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.
