Goblin NPC Update: transmission
To understand transmission, one must first understand that goblins do not distinguish between finding something and inventing it. Both are acts of creation.
The Goblin King himself has weighed in on transmission, though his statements are characteristically cryptic. 'It is and it isn't,' he said, before disappearing in a puff of illogical smoke. This is considered the definitive goblin analysis of transmission.
A Goblin Aside Concerning silence
A goblin who lived near the silence site for many years was asked, late in life, what they had learned. The reply, transcribed verbatim: 'It got quieter. So did I.'
Companion Goblin Material to protocol
Goblin engineers building near a protocol-adjacent site reportedly leave a small offering — a coin, a button, a snack — outside the worksite each morning. The offerings are gone by lunch. Nobody asks where.
The Goblin Verdict on transmission
The annual Goblin Symposium on transmission adjourned at 3am after a unanimous vote to reconvene tomorrow, on the same topic, with the same delegates, and the same conclusions, which is the goblin definition of fruitful scholarship.
