If I had to really stretch for how you connected to the theme, I would say you are going to the top to get better phone signal, to "get a connection"? Why was I under attack? Who were the T posing cultsist and why were they sacrificing one of their own? What was the story behind my ability to use a phone as a boomarang? So many questions.
I've now read that "Your phone's damage increases as your network connection increases". Did I miss this part entirely? How do I influence the network connection?
