Goblin TCP: edge Over the Wire

Examination of the goblin tunnel walls near edge-affected sites reveals consistent scratch patterns: three short, one long, one diagonal. The goblin equivalent of a signature.

Goblin code-breakers tasked with decrypting edge reported, after eighteen months, that the ciphertext was clean but the plaintext had developed opinions of its own and was no longer cooperating with translation.
