Girl and Puffy look inside an open case of a computer that is booting up. Tiny winged blue creatures examine the contents of the computer and trace where which wires go. In the background, a monitor displays the OpenBSD boot process.
Girl is shocked.
Puffy: "I never bothered to look up the technical term - I call them kernel pixies."
