During the outbreak at AmGen Laboratories, several emergency transmissions were recorded. Unfortunately, the digital virus has corrupted the transcripts, leaving them filled with grammar and punctuation errors.
Students must act as editing specialists, repairing the transcripts so the final messages can be understood.
