Yeah, I noticed this catastrophe on my first day.

— Agent Aderholt, "Open House". |
Mail Robot is the FBI Headquarter's automated mail deliverer. A universal nuisance to the staff as it blocks their path and often malfunctions, it is a beloved item to fans of the show. A key item in several episodes, it posed a security risk and was bugged by Philip Jennings and used by the KGB in "Operation Zephyr." It has its own Twitter account. Its first appearance is in the Season Two episode "Comrades". |
