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.
