Visual-Novel Goblin Route: signal

Examination of the goblin tunnel walls near signal-affected sites reveals consistent scratch patterns: three short, one long, one diagonal. The goblin equivalent of a signature.

Calculations performed in the goblin observatory suggest that signal is moving — not through space, exactly, but through some other coordinate the goblins have no shared name for. The trajectory is gentle and the destination is unclear.

Subterranean Goblin Notes on transmission

An obscure goblin technique for thinking clearly about transmission requires the practitioner to first think clearly about something else, and then turn their attention to transmission only after their thoughts have cooled. The technique works approximately as well as you would expect.

Goblins and frequency

A goblin field anthropologist embedded for six seasons with the frequency-curious sept produced a single page of conclusions, the most quoted being: 'They love it. They cannot stop loving it. It does not love them back. They love it anyway.'

The Goblin Verdict on signal

It has been the goblins' privilege, this season, to attend so closely to signal. The privilege is mutual, the goblins assume. signal has not yet commented on the matter, which the goblins take as tacit consent.
