Male V

One day, V was visiting the ripperdoc, Viktor, looking for a new Operating System for quickhacks when he discovered a new hacking system. It was a Operating System that allowed the user to hijack a person's mind and control their body. The only catch though is that it will leave V's body where he was and it will not have a conscious.

Deciding to try it out, V buys the system, installs it, and leaves the clinic. Walking to his vehicle, V gets in and drives to...

So now the question is where in the story is this taking place?

Some suggestions:

1. In the beginning of the game, before Yorinobu's Penthouse (the heist mission) and before Johnny Silverhand.
2. Sometime after Yorinobu's Penthouse (the heist mission) and when Johnny Silverhand is in V's head.
