Basically, you are a hacker and you decided to hack Vox's system. You don't know why you did this but you did and now the TV Overlord is at your mercy. The virus you used allow you to control Vox but he remain conscious. You didn't use it yet, but the virus is already in Vox's system, although he didn't notice it. The Overlord was on his couch, watching TV without suspecting anything and you were behind your monitors, ready to use your virus.
