Title: Return of the missing (Insert item here)

Veterans, occasionally you may notice in recent times, things may suddenly disappear off your vessel, engines will cease to exist for a split moment before returning, weapons may disappear as you move to crew them. I must dissuade you from investigating this matter further, dark secrets that can not be revealed lurk just below the surface. Carry on airmen, there are ships to explode.

The Matrix is a system, Pie. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Captains, Gunners, Engineers, Teachers. The very hulls of the ships we are trying to crew. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.

My only problem is how rudely it kicks you out of the gun.

I mean, maybe a gentle push, or a "hey, the alternate dimension needs these for a sec," would be nice.

But nooooo, you're just rudely booted out of your post without rhyme or reason.

A gentle canadian "Sorry" would dissuade murderous intents.

I'd totally be okay with the engines disappearing when I go to repair them if a clip of Sunderland saying "sorry" played whenever it happened.

I've been told that the Canadian "sorry" sounds different. I'm completely confused.

Americans pronounce "sorry" like "sah-ree." Canadians pronounce "sorry" with the "so" part sounding kind of like "sew," so it's basically "soh-ree." It's a very canadian way of saying it, and makes me chuckle a bit every time I hear it. That and pronouncing "about" kinda like "uh-boat." (well, sort of halfway between "uh-boat" and "uh-boot")

I've always pronounced it more like "sore-ee". I suppose that's essentially what you mean *hides in embarrassment*

I have never met anybody in Canada who says "aboot", even though I know the stereotype well. Then again, I do live in one of the less-accented areas.
