The Delusional Goblin's transmission

Per the latest goblin all-hands, transmission is now classified as a strategic priority for FY26, with three goblin VPs competing to own the roadmap.

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.
