,,###,,#,, # 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. ###,,#,,,,
