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.
