How To Give To Teams

Over the phone a lab assistant tells them words to the effect of,

Another group just called and told us that they received a message that they think is from Doctor When. It says "RESET HEISENBERG COMPENSATOR". Well, we dug around in the time machine and we think we found this "heisenberg compensator". Unfortunately, when the lab assistant was playing around with trying to reset it he completely failed to check the original settings. So now we don't know how many chronowatts to set this thing at. Eventually we found some instructions from Doctor When, but, wouldn't you know it, it's seems only understandable to people much smarter than us! We're sending you the instructions, see if you can figure out what we should set the Heisenberg Compensator to.

Would you please [blah] and then call the Institute and speak to any lab assistant?
