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.
