###$§/«:¨¨ sound a horn, nudge the animal a ¨¨:«/§$###
####$§/«:¨ little, but ultimately wait it out. ¨:«/§$####
###$§/«:¨¨ although they will log video, no call ¨¨:«/§$###
####$§/«:¨ will be made for any outside ¨:«/§$####
###$§/«:¨¨ assistance. this is very good. ¨¨:«/§$###
####$§/«:¨ ¨:«/§$####
###$§/«:¨¨ the railmakers are siemens-manufactured ¨¨:«/§$###
####$§/«:¨ brick-like things. fields of gray and ¨:«/§$####
###$§/«:¨¨ teal, floodlights, thrumming and ¨¨:«/§$###
####$§/«:¨ hissing. trilling to each other, like ¨:«/§$####
###$§/«:¨¨ language. and here, three of them, ¨¨:«/§$###
####$§/«:¨ slowly making their way through the ¨:«/§$####
###$§/«:¨¨ dense forest. ¨¨:«/§$###
####$§/«:¨ ¨:«/§$####
###$§/«:¨¨ i'm coming up on them from behind and ¨¨:«/§$###
####$§/«:¨ to the left, hidden behind the thick ¨:«/§$####
###$§/«:¨¨ foliage. their light finds the gaps ¨¨:«/§$###
####$§/«:¨ between the leaves, casting rays ¨:«/§$####
###$§/«:¨¨ through the wet air, playing over my ¨¨:«/§$###
####$§/«:¨ face and arms, and my weapon. i quickly ¨:«/§$####
###$§/«:¨¨ overtake them, crouch in the ditch made ¨¨:«/§$###
####$§/«:¨ by the preprocessor, and watch. one of ¨:«/§$####
###$§/«:¨¨ them is already a bit behind the ¨¨:«/§$###
####$§/«:¨ others. it will be my target. ¨:«/§$####
###$§/«:¨¨ ¨¨:«/§$###
####$§/«:¨ just as the light of the leading two is ¨:«/§$####
###$§/«:¨¨ dimming, i deploy the rabbits, throwing ¨¨:«/§$###
####$§/«:¨ them in the path of my prey. the ¨:«/§$####
###$§/«:¨¨ creatures are yet alive, but maimed so ¨¨:«/§$###
####$§/«:¨ as to be unable to move - they will ¨:«/§$####
###$§/«:¨¨ stay in the path of the railmaker, ¨¨:«/§$###
####$§/«:¨ forcing it to pause, further separating ¨:«/§$####
###$§/«:¨¨ it from its two friends. ¨¨:«/§$###
