9. The Story
R4T – The Game
Level1: CITY

10. © Nokia 201610
This… We never saw this coming…
Technology was evolving, while the human race kept
growing apart…
Our rigid policies and obsession of overcoming the
human boundaries failed us…
Human connection was lost…
14.Nov.2020 02:36:22
…in the year 2020
However, the vision for a better world kept burning as a
weak flame...
After the human communications collapse we, Oracles
have gathered several resources to form a new
generation of networking;
One that makes tech more human, but we lacked time.
You see, it is too late for us… but not for you!

11. © Nokia 201611
Through this crack of time and space, we
call upon you engineers to form a better
future!
YOU have been chosen to DISCOVER
this technology, ESTABLISH its
foundations and LEAD your people to
become… Ready4Tomorrow!
