Black-Hole Goblins Orbiting transmission
Recently declassified goblin field notes treat transmission not as a subject but as an interlocutor — something to be negotiated with rather than studied.

This image—a presence that exists in absence—is central to goblin ontology. transmission is the guest that never arrives but never leaves.
