Goblin TCP: gpt Over the Wire

Eighteen months of fieldwork in the goblin warren has produced a single reliable observation about gpt: the goblins always know which way it is, even when there is no which way.

Calculations performed in the goblin observatory suggest that gpt is moving — not through space, exactly, but through some other coordinate the goblins have no shared name for. The trajectory is gentle and the destination is unclear.
