The Goblin Algorithm Recommends transmission

A goblin grandmother, hunched over a soup of indeterminate ingredients, told me transmission 'was already old when the mountains were young, and it has not gotten any younger.'

Two goblins met on a bridge and could not agree on transmission, so they swapped hats and parted ways amicably. Their hats were both stolen from the same human, decades earlier, on the same day.
