Ok author, let's see what we have here.

First on the overall concept, I like the simplicity of it being used for a larger story. The only problem is that there's not much there to get the characterization for Robert for me to feel too sorry for him. I'd personally want to hear more anecdotal evidence about his love for his Jonathan than just "He really loved that boy…"

Also I'm not going to input your ending into morse code, because it'd be kind of a pain. The Foundation would be smart enough to see that's morse code, and would translate it in the article at least in a footnote or something. Regardless, readers will probably ignore the morse code because of the difficulty to translate, or because they do not recognize it.

Finally, as a smaller point, why do you blackbox the maximum voltage? There appears to be no reason for it. A rule I personally use for blackboxing is that it should be namely used a a chekov's gun, and while what you've done isn't bad, it seems unnecessary, and would probably clean up the article to just add a max voltage.

Good luck!
