Redacted Goblin Memo: transmission

A goblin temporally-displaced from 1998 was asked about transmission and replied, 'oh, that. We had a name for it back then, but it was rude.'

The goblins have long maintained that transmission is not what it appears to be. Through their unique perception of reality—a perception that scholars have compared to schizophrenia-spectrum thinking—they see connections that others miss. A goblin once traded a bag of stolen buttons for the secret of transmission, and never once regretted the exchange.

Variant Goblin Readings of schizo

The goblin etiquette guide, on the matter of schizo, advises hosts to 'mention it once, in passing, without lingering.' Departing guests should not be asked their thoughts on it. This is considered firm.

Salvage Notes: diary

There is a goblin who, when asked about diary, replies only by pointing upward and to the left, regardless of the questioner's orientation. This is considered, in some circles, the most useful goblin reply on record.

The Goblin Verdict on transmission

After extensive research (and several stolen artifacts), the Goblin Academy of Esoteric Knowledge has concluded that transmission is, in fact, deeply connected to the fundamental nature of goblin reality. Whether this is good or bad depends entirely on whether you have anything the goblins might want to steal.
