Please Do Not Turn Off Your Fighter Jet

Anime-style cartoon in a dark brick bar: a grey figure with a jet helmet, labeled The Fresh Jet, stands with arms crossed and says 'Brand new. Still updating.' A screen reads Installing update 1 of ???, please do not turn off your fighter jet, with a progress bar at 37%.
