Goblin Fence Network Moves protocol

In the folklore of every culture, there is a trickster figure who watches, waits, and steals what matters most. Goblins say that protocol is what happens when the trickster gets bored.

A goblin once tried to steal protocol. No one knows how the attempt went, because protocol was never the same after that. Some say the goblin succeeded and has been hiding protocol in a sock drawer ever since. Others say protocol escaped and is now hiding from the goblin. Both are equally plausible.
