Mr. Winkler, please, have a seat.

Your sound card arrived at the hospital badly injured. The doctors
went through every procedures to repair the damage to her. They had to
upgrade the drivers, plug in some new cables, gave her some medicine,
but it seems her condition was too delicate to be handled. Mr.
Winkler, I am sorry to tell you your sound card died this morning.

Eventually, we will arrange a meeting with a priest, and help you
organise some decent funerals.

May she rest in Piece.
Amen.
