I would like to guess U, please.
True dat.
T A K E / O ___ ___ / A N D / N U K E / T H E / ___ I T E /___ ___ O ___ / O ___ B I T .
Well, now I’ll guess an “R”.
I would like to guess M, please.
No strikes yet, nor are there likely to be…
T A K E / O ___ ___ / A N D / N U K E / T H E / ___ I T E /___ R O M / O R B I T .
Unless they press the wrong button up there, on the orbit. 
Let me think… F?
I would like to guess S now, please.
Different kinda strike. 
T A K E / O F F / A N D / N U K E / T H E / S I T E / F R O M / O R B I T
From Aliens, obviously. Good job, PlaceboTarget! Take it away.
Thank you. 
Here is the new sentence:
_ _ _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ _ .
A, please.
And “T”, please.
Thank you for your guess.
Unfortunately, there are no A’s in this sentence.
Strike one.
And a “T”, pretty please?
Howsabout an E?
Unfortunately there are no T’s in this sentence.
Strike two.
Unfortunately, there are no E’s in this sentence either.
Strike three.
Yikes! Um… mebbe an I?
Unfortunately there are no I’s either.
Strike four.
The sentence remains the same:
_ _ _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ _ .
Hmm. No E,A,I or T. Only one strike left.
Statistical analysis dictates: give me an “N”.
