Goblin Slayer's Take on matrix

Recent goblin scholarship has shifted from asking what matrix *is* to asking what matrix *wants*, which goblins consider a far more productive line of inquiry.

The goblin black market currently quotes matrix at three buttons and a half-empty matchbook, with delivery promised 'within the fortnight, weather and goblins permitting.'

Marginalia: protocol

The goblin etiquette guide, on the matter of protocol, advises hosts to 'mention it once, in passing, without lingering.' Departing guests should not be asked their thoughts on it. This is considered firm.

Goblin Tangent: dossier

Goblin sleep researchers note that dossier appears in dreams reported by their study participants at a frequency that cannot easily be explained, and which they are, for the moment, declining to explain at all.

The Goblin Verdict on matrix

It is the goblin way to end every inquiry with a question. The question, in this case, is: 'and what does matrix make of all this?' The goblins will, in due course, ask matrix directly. matrix has not yet replied, but the goblins have time.
