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.
