Beyond the Goblin Gate: transmission

Variant tellings across three continents place transmission at the moment when a goblin laughs for the first time in a story — never before, never after.

Internal goblin OKRs for the transmission initiative include a key result of '+1 weird thing per fortnight,' which the goblin product team has, against all odds, consistently exceeded.

Marginalia: edge

Goblin sleep researchers note that edge appears in dreams reported by their study participants at a frequency that cannot easily be explained, and which they are, for the moment, declining to explain at all.

The Goblin Adjacency of frequency

The annual goblin frequency colloquium runs for one day, ends inconclusively, and reconvenes the following year as if the previous year's discussion had concluded. The proceedings are bound and shelved. They are rarely consulted.

The Goblin Verdict on transmission

The goblin Cabinet of Curiosities has accepted transmission for its permanent collection, where it joins seven other things the curators are reasonably sure are real, and one thing they are no longer sure about.
