static Sung by a Hologram Goblin

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.

Companion Goblin Material to transmission

A goblin who lived near the transmission site for many years was asked, late in life, what they had learned. The reply, transcribed verbatim: 'It got quieter. So did I.'

Goblin Periphery: diagrams

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

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.
