Goblin False-Flag: protocol

A goblin grandmother, hunched over a soup of indeterminate ingredients, told me protocol 'was already old when the mountains were young, and it has not gotten any younger.'

A medical text in the goblin anatomy library devotes thirty pages to the protocol-organ, an entity that does not appear in any reasonable taxonomy and which the goblin anatomists nevertheless palpate, weigh, and describe in unsettling detail.

Three Goblins Discuss signal

Goblin children, when introduced to signal, exhibit a characteristic behavior: they grow very still, look slightly to the side, and then resume what they were doing. Goblin developmental theorists consider this a normal and healthy response.

Salvage Notes: corruption

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on corruption: 'It is what it is, except when it isn't, which is most of the time.' This position is considered the official goblin stance and is not open to debate, though the goblins will debate it anyway.

The Goblin Verdict on protocol

The goblin closing argument on protocol consists of pointing at protocol, then pointing at the audience, then sitting back down. Goblin juries find this persuasive.
