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.
