##@#&*;«,, brick-like things. fields of gray and ,,«;*@##
#@#&*;«,,, teal, floodlights, thrumming and ,,,«;*@#
@#&*;«,,,, hissing. trilling to each other, like ,,,,«;*@

#@#&*;«,,, i'm coming up on them from behind and ,,,«;*@#
##@#&*;«,, to the left, hidden behind the thick ,,«;*@##

@#&*;«,,,, 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 ,,,«;*@#

@#&*;«,,,, just as the light of the leading two is ,,,,«;*@

#&*;«,,,,, creatures are yet alive, but maimed so ,,,,,«;*
@#&*;«,,,, as to be unable to move - they will ,,,,«;*@
#@#&*;«,,, stay in the path of the railmaker, ,,,«;*@#

#@#&*;«,,, keep the railmakers internal chemistry ,,,«;*@#
