#¶#£†~,,,, # autonomous railmakers will notice # ,,,,~†£#¶#

£†~,,,,,,, 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. ,,,~†£#¶##

~,,,,,,,,, ############################## 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. ,,,,,,~†£#
