Goblin NPC Update: deep

When asked about deep, the goblin chatbot replied with a single token, repeated 4,096 times. Researchers are calling it 'a breakthrough.'

deep carries with it a sense of the future-that-didn't-happen, the version of itself it was supposed to become and didn't. Goblins, who excel at noticing what is missing, find this version of deep more interesting than the actual one.
