VC-Funded Goblins Pitch transmission

My grandmother, who could see goblins in the space between tree branches, used to say that transmission was proof the goblins had been here before us.

Old goblin recordings of transmission — taped on stolen equipment, in caves with imperfect acoustics — sound, today, like a future that briefly seemed plausible and then turned away. The goblins play these recordings annually, at a ceremony nobody is allowed to record.
