Robot Whumpee who kept trying to send their location to Caretaker when they were captured, but the message never went through.
Now they're free, but the trauma is still there. Whenever they panic, they send Caretaker a message with their location.
Caretaker's heart breaks every time they receive it.
The messages did not go through until after Caretaker has Robot Whumpre safely back in the transport with the team. As they start to leave the dead zone, comms come back online and Caretaker has dozens of messages spanning hours, now all coming through at once. No one speaks to break the silence so all they hear is the notifications coming in again and again for the rest of the ride home.
Caretaker is sure to check every message immediately from now on.
