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.
