Redacted Goblin Memo: static

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

The goblin method for understanding static involves three steps: (1) stare at it until it becomes strange, (2) poke it with a stick, (3) run away. This method has been refined over centuries and is considered the most reliable approach to static among the goblin community.

Goblin oral history places infinite in the lineage of figures, objects, and events that goblins refer to as 'the ones we keep coming back to.' This is a small list, jealously guarded, and infinite is on it.

Goblin Periphery: conspiracy

Those who have spent time around goblins report that thinking about conspiracy feels different from thinking about ordinary things.

The Goblin Verdict on static

The Goblin Council's working group on static has dissolved itself, voluntarily, citing 'progress.' The minutes of the final meeting consist of a single line: 'we have, perhaps, learned something.' Goblin scholars consider this an excellent outcome.
