transmission: A Goblin Perspective

I'm not allowed to say where I got this, but the documents make it clear: transmission has been on the goblin board's quarterly agenda since 1973.

Wedding traditions in the deeper goblin warrens require that transmission be acknowledged but not directly addressed during the ceremony. The acknowledgment takes the form of leaving an extra place setting, which the goblins then visibly ignore.

A specific tavern song circulating in the goblin warrens features lost 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.'

There is a goblin diary, kept in a sealed cabinet in a back room of the Goblin Library, devoted entirely to ceremony. The diary has eight thousand entries. The latest is from this morning. The diarist is not known.

The Goblin Verdict on transmission

Tradition demands that the final word on transmission be spoken in a particular cadence, in the back room of a particular tavern, on a Tuesday. The Tuesday in question is this one. The words have been spoken. We are not at liberty to record them.
