Ah, of course! The magic cube that partitions computers specifically shaped like Omega!
And people were saying this comic doesn't explain things. Tsk tsk.

That's not the same port as in the previous comic; it has more pins.
And she shouldn't be able to do shit by connecting to only 3 pins on a parallel port.

Usually ports dont check whether each pin is connected or not. If you the use of each pin you can often just use some of them. Its not uncomm9n to have pins that do nothing, or pins that do the same thing for compatibility

Sure; an IBM PC printer port has 8 ground pins, for example. And if this random D connector socket is one of those, Kat will be able to maliciously send an Out of Paper status!

Is this foreshadowing for Kat wanting to get chromed out, so her body can keep up?
Either that or transferring herself to a new body, like she did for the robots.
Wait wait wait
I thought she was going to just magic into the computer because ether
You're telling me she built an interface for a computer she's never seen with no idea what its architecture is, somehow also knowing to build it for parallel port compatibility?

Remember she has her extradimensional factory of 3D printers, to instantly build and teleport things to her. She just saw the port and had a connector made for it.
Arbitrary code execution. Is the only way i can think this can work. As in, send data in such a way it tricks the system into writing things in the wrong places. Like how TAS can write code so fast it can turn super Mario world into Snake. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=v_KsonqcMv0
