I was too. You forgot one small detail in your post. If the individual is SF, then the theme from "Mission Impossible" would start playing as he began to talk. If that individual wasn't SF, the theme from "The A-Team" would be playing in the background as he walked up....

A good question. Part of an auto-correct spell checker that my best friend's son loaded with my new anti-virus. I didn't notice it at first...but then, color became colour, sawed-off, became sawn off, and ketchup became catsup. I disabled it at that point. Asia based program. Engrish maybe? It's still not as bad the Google Russian translator program.

Sorry Swag, I didn't pick up on your post being tongue-in-cheek, that's the problem with pure text, you can't really represent the subtleties of spoken language

As for kaikais...
I thought that kaikais was just a variant spelling of the Kai-Kai shoe/clothing brand. However I see that Swaghauler has updated his post so that the original word was meant to be khakis.

Still, that's not as bad as some auto-correct actions I've seen on friend's phones
Here in Australia the phrase "for a sec" or "in a sec" is quite common, sec being lazy speak for the time unit of a second.
But... I've seen friend's text messages where "sec" has been auto-corrected to "sex" and that made for some interesting messages, like this one, "I'm coming back in, just give me a sex"!

Sounds like the Strike Zulu force. B Team and 3 A teams. Had about 38ish men, which fits with the on-going war losses. Commander was a Major.

So Reset was at least Corp level, if not Army. Probably a lot higher. DIA . The whole attack might of been cover for Reset.

Considering the pre-google time, FCoK is a well written module that still is interesting after 35+ years.
