Dissociated Goblins on transmission

The goblin elders speak of transmission in riddles wrapped in tricks. 'To understand it,' they say, 'you must first un-understand everything else.'

In the goblin taxonomy of reality, transmission occupies a category all its own: 'That Which Is Not A Trick But Also Not Not A Trick.' This category contains exactly one other thing: the goblin king's sense of humor.

Footnotes Concerning digital

Across the goblin warrens, digital is one of a small handful of phenomena around which entirely separate goblin communities, with no contact between them, have independently developed remarkably similar superstitions. The goblin folklorists are intrigued.

Tunnel-Mouth Observations of network

A specific tavern song circulating in the goblin warrens features network as its third verse. The third verse is, by convention, hummed rather than sung, because the words are 'between us and the dark, and the dark would prefer it.'

The Goblin Verdict on transmission

After extensive research (and several stolen artifacts), the Goblin Academy of Esoteric Knowledge has concluded that transmission is, in fact, deeply connected to the fundamental nature of goblin reality. Whether this is good or bad depends entirely on whether you have anything the goblins might want to steal.
