,,,,,,,,-^ the railmakers are siemens-manufactured ^-,,,,,,,,

,,-^^$£@## i'm coming up on them from behind and ##@£$^^-,,
,,,-^^$£@# to the left, hidden behind the thick #@£$^^-,,,
,,,,-^^$£@ foliage. their light finds the gaps @£$^^-,,,,
,,,,,-^^$£ between the leaves, casting rays £$^^-,,,,,
,,,,,,-^^$ through the wet air, playing over my $^^-,,,,,,
,,,,,,,-^^ face and arms, and my weapon. i quickly ^^-,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,-^ overtake them, crouch in the ditch made ^-,,,,,,,,

,,,,,,,,-^ them is already a bit behind the ^-,,,,,,,,

,,,,,-^^$£ just as the light of the leading two is £$^^-,,,,,

,,-^^$£@## creatures are yet alive, but maimed so ##@£$^^-,,
,,,-^^$£@# as to be unable to move - they will #@£$^^-,,,
,,,,-^^$£@ stay in the path of the railmaker, @£$^^-,,,,
