The Pattern-Recognition Goblin Sees transmission

A goblin once described transmission as 'vibes but with consequences.' I have thought about this every day since.

The Goblin Verdict on transmission

The goblin closing argument on transmission consists of pointing at transmission, then pointing at the audience, then sitting back down. Goblin juries find this persuasive.
