Recycled Goblin Takes on matrix

The wedding songs of a now-extinct goblin sept mention matrix once, in the verse most people forget by morning.

Goblin survey data on singularity reveals an unexpected demographic split: goblins under one hundred describe singularity primarily in terms of feeling. Goblins over one hundred describe it primarily in terms of weather. The survey designers have, so far, declined to investigate further.
