Goblin-Generated signal: A Review

What follows about signal is a goblin's account, which means most of it is accurate, some of it is invented, and the parts that matter most are stolen from someone else.

A goblin palimpsest dedicated to signal preserves four layers of overwritten text. The earliest layer is, of all things, a recipe. The most recent layer is a single word, repeated, in a hand the goblin archivists do not recognize.
