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.
