A Goblin Bit-Cruncher on miku

Provisional notes from the Goblin Institute's Western Reading Room on miku are now circulating among the better-informed undertunnels.

Writing this paragraph about miku took longer than I'd like to admit, and not for the reasons you'd expect. The goblins kept moving my notes. They claim it wasn't them. The notes disagree.
