¨¨-~=^@&## sound a horn, nudge the animal a ##&@^=~-¨¨

¨¨¨¨-~=^@& although they will log video, no call &@^=~-¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨-~=^@&# will be made for any outside #&@^=~-¨¨¨

¨¨-~=^@&## 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 #&@^=~-¨¨¨

¨-~=^@&### well away from their various exhausts. ###&@^=~-¨
¨¨-~=^@&## ##&@^=~-¨¨
¨¨¨-~=^@&# a liver that, as long as you manage to #&@^=~-¨¨¨
