From the introduction: You are historians from O.R.B., the Origin Research/Observation & Retrieval Bureau. Your team has been sent back to the distant past: the 21st century. Your transport arrives at a house, frozen in time. Uncover the artefacts within, and piece together the lives of the occupants. For our exhibition on Human Lives of the 21st Century , each historian should bring back an item that best encapsulates the people who lived there.
