#@#@%†=-,, sound a horn, nudge the animal a ,,-=†%@#@#

@#@%†=-,,, ,,,-=†%@#@
#@#@%†=-,, 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 ,,-=†%@#@#

#@#@%†=-,, 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 ,-=†%@#@##
