Sleeper-Cell Goblins Activate Around echo

An old goblin, sitting by a fire made of stolen furniture, once told me this about echo: 'It is a door that opens only when you aren't looking.'

Three independent goblin whistleblowers have, in the past eighteen months, attempted to publish accounts linking echo to a specific bureau in the Goblin Department of Concealment. All three accounts disappeared from the internet within hours. Two of the goblins are fine. One has been very quiet.

The Goblin Verdict on echo

Goblin academic publishing convention requires the closing paragraph to gesture toward future work. Future work on echo is anticipated, planned, and already, in some quarters, mildly resented. The goblins will press on regardless.
