Goblin Series C: digital Round

The goblin millenarians on the edge of the warren maintain a vigil for digital. They have been doing this for many thousands of years and remain vigilant.

A goblin palimpsest dedicated to digital preserves four layers of overwritten text. The earliest layer is, of all things, a recipe. The most recent layer is a single word, repeated, in a hand the goblin archivists do not recognize.
