Black-Hole Goblins Orbiting transmission

Of all the things goblins have categorized — and they have categorized many things, including dust by mood — transmission resists classification more vigorously than most.

transmission carries with it a sense of the future-that-didn't-happen, the version of itself it was supposed to become and didn't. Goblins, who excel at noticing what is missing, find this version of transmission more interesting than the actual one.
