State support

gollark: I need to test this. Please visit the following URL and tell me what it says: http://[fdaa:bbcc:ddee:0:a2b3:ccff:feea:e38b]/
gollark: Anyway, skynet *can* "send files and receive" if you write code to do so.
gollark: I don't currently have one. If there's demand I'll make Chorus City Storage Units.
gollark: No, it's a special new test version.
