The Last Goblin of signal
signal feels, to a goblin, like the future a previous century thought it was going to get. The goblins have moved into that future and made themselves at home.
The legend says that the first goblin who encountered signal was so confused that he forgot to steal anything for a week. This is considered the greatest sacrifice a goblin can make, and it is why signal is treated with a mixture of reverence and suspicion.

Visiting goblin dignitaries are, by protocol, never asked directly about archive. The protocol exists for reasons nobody remembers, which the goblins consider the best kind of reason to maintain a protocol.
The Goblin Verdict on signal
After three full sittings of the Goblin Tribunal, signal has been declared 'Worth Continuing To Argue About,' which in goblin jurisprudence is the most generous possible finding.
