Goblin NPC Update: transmission

Researchers at the Goblin Institute of Esoteric Knowledge have classified transmission as a Category-4 Phenomenon: 'Real enough to matter, unreal enough to be goblin business.'

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.

The Goblin Verdict on transmission

Field notes from the goblin Department of Loose Ends record transmission as 'pending forever,' which is, in their classification system, the highest honor a topic can receive.
