The Goblin Hallucination of protocol

The goblins maintain a running list of things protocol is not. The list has 6,012 entries and grows weekly.

Sensitive goblins describe the energy of protocol as 'mostly indigo, with a teal undertone in the second half.' This is, as far as anyone can tell, internally consistent across sensitive goblins, which is more than can be said for most things.
