Remote wore receivers in their earlobes which conveyed transmissions directly into their nervous systems, dramatically shaping the Remote around local broadcasts. These receivers were designed by Faction Paradox. (PROSE: The Book of the War) Imogen Tantry described a Remote receiver as having "smooth polymer whirls". (PROSE: De Umbris Idearum)
In an attempt to make Compassion more "human", the Eighth Doctor modified her receiver so that it only picked up signals from his TARDIS; this somewhat backfired as the signals from the TARDIS transformed Compassion from a Remote into something even more alien: the first Type 102 TARDIS. (PROSE: The Shadows of Avalon)
Compassion III's receiver was so integral to her self-image that it was recreated when she was resurrected in the City of the Saved. (PROSE: Of the City of the Saved...)
