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.
