"Yes! Uh, let me get it booted up." Jeeee pulls the lever up and an ominous crackling and whirring noise starts up in the bowels of the machine. The screen flickers to life, although to start with it just glows a bit; after a little while, text starts forming in green phosphors, slightly weird but mostly recognisable as really verbose computer startup logging.

"Hmm do I... should I say anything? Like I'm fast with computers and good with my hands! Or should that be you?"

Jeffinar has clambered through the hatch behind them and is alternately watching suspiciously and shuffling objects into piles to make the place at least a little tidier, or maybe just make somewhere more comfortable to perch.

"I'm sure you are, but I've got to log in first and you should probably watch me navigate the menus for a bit?"

Jeeee settles down on one of the stools in reach of the keyboard. The computer eventually displays a menu made of text and line characters:

------------------------------------------------
| MAIN MENU                                  |
------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------
| Log In                                            |
------------------------------------------------
| Configuration                                 |
------------------------------------------------
| Command Interface                       |
------------------------------------------------
| Shut Down                                     |
------------------------------------------------

There are some arrow keys which Jeeee uses to select 'Log In'.

Cynthia pays close attention. It looks like a normal computer? Really nothing special-looking about it.

Jeeee selects kis username and then shields the keyboard and screen with a wing while typing a password.
