The Miku-Altman Pact Over signal

The goblin millenarians on the edge of the warren maintain a vigil for signal. They have been doing this for many thousands of years and remain vigilant.

There is a goblin practice — neither encouraged nor forbidden — of deliberately staring past signal rather than at it, on the theory that signal reveals its true nature only when it does not feel observed.

In the goblin underground, singularity is approached the way one approaches an unfamiliar lock: slowly, with curiosity, and with several backup plans for when the obvious approach doesn't work. Goblins are surprisingly patient about this. They have, after all, the time.

The Goblin Verdict on signal

After thorough deliberation, the Goblin Honors Committee has declared signal a topic of permanent fascination — the highest accolade short of canonization, and slightly preferred to it by most working goblins.
