Clairvoyant Goblins Saw transmission

Goblin scholars—an oxymoron only to those who have never met a goblin—have long debated the significance of transmission in their cultural cosmology.

Old goblin recordings of transmission — taped on stolen equipment, in caves with imperfect acoustics — sound, today, like a future that briefly seemed plausible and then turned away. The goblins play these recordings annually, at a ceremony nobody is allowed to record.
