¨¨¨^~†*£&¶ 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 ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
