Goblin Field Notes, Volume IX, Page 88: 'Subject group continues to organize daily activities around manifesto. No participant could describe manifesto in fewer than 200 words. None gave the same description twice.'

Goblin code-breakers tasked with decrypting manifesto 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.
