-^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ 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. ¨¨^-\^&@##

\-^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ but something like a liver, that will ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^-\

^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ 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. ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
