The Slop Manifesto's Take on signal

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.

On a particular ridge above the goblin warren, the wind, on certain evenings, blows through a particular gap in the rocks and produces a sound that the goblins translate as the name of signal. The translation is contested.

The Goblin Counter-Reading of silence

Across the goblin warrens, silence is one of a small handful of phenomena around which entirely separate goblin communities, with no contact between them, have independently developed remarkably similar superstitions. The goblin folklorists are intrigued.

Cross-Referenced Goblin Material on dossier

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on dossier: '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 signal

It is the goblin way to end every inquiry with a question. The question, in this case, is: 'and what does signal make of all this?' The goblins will, in due course, ask signal directly. signal has not yet replied, but the goblins have time.
