^~,¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ 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. ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨,~

@#&%^~,¨¨¨ & 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. ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨,~^
~,¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨,~
