transmission as the Goblin Big Bang

What follows about transmission is a goblin's account, which means most of it is accurate, some of it is invented, and the parts that matter most are stolen from someone else.

Pattern recognition is the goblin's favorite game. Show a goblin transmission and they will immediately begin finding connections to everything else in existence. Some of these connections are real. Some are imagined. None of them matter, because the act of connecting is itself the point.
