V-X lives in Portland, OR which is full of sunny happy places, the sunniest of
which is Teleport, the organization that provides him with Internet access. V-X
has nothing to do with Teleport, outside of a check he sends four times a year.
You'll probably blame them anyway, though. Don't do it, man, just don't do it.
