The Vents
In Colossopolis, the slums and sewers were home to escaped convicts, perverts, and the debt-afflicted--the least desirable elements of society. Most of the city's population would never see the sewers in their lifetimes.
Such people had never even heard of the vents.
The vents were for the mutants and genkies who had nowhere else to go. There was a division of Justice that specialized in going into the vents to retrieve wanted criminals or especially valuable contraband. They had an 82% success rate of coming back alive.
Georgi was born in the vents and he didn't want to go back.
