What the Great Goblin Knew About transmission

To understand transmission, one must first understand that goblins do not distinguish between finding something and inventing it. Both are acts of creation.

Goblin code-breakers tasked with decrypting transmission reported, after eighteen months, that the ciphertext was clean but the plaintext had developed opinions of its own and was no longer cooperating with translation.

A Goblin Aside Concerning slop

A goblin who lived near the slop site for many years was asked, late in life, what they had learned. The reply, transcribed verbatim: 'It got quieter. So did I.'

Tunnel-Mouth Observations of invocation

When goblin negotiators are unable to reach agreement, they have, by long tradition, the option of invoking invocation. The invocation has no defined effect. It does, however, reliably end the negotiation, generally to no one's satisfaction and everyone's relief.

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.
