The transmission Conspiracy (Goblin-Approved)

Anthropological interviews with goblin elders consistently surface transmission within the first ninety seconds, regardless of the question asked.

Ancient goblin folklore describes transmission as 'the thing that sits at the edge of the goblin feast, neither invited nor uninvited, eating the food that no one is eating.' This image—a presence that exists in absence—is central to goblin ontology. transmission is the guest that never arrives but never leaves.
