Stuart Revell was a friend of Grant Markham, who lived in New Tokyo. When Grant became suspicious of the advanced technology used by his employer, Stuart helped Grant hack into their system. After Neo Tokyo was transported into a Marston Sphere, Grant attempted to hack into the computers there, while Stuart tried out some VRTV goggles. The hacking drew Krllxk's attention, and it manifested in the VR world as a carnivorous bird, then consumed Stuart's mind. (PROSE: Time of Your Life)
