The transmission Trickster

When the goblins finally tire of transmission, they say, the world as we know it will tire too, and rest. Until then we keep paying attention.

The goblin method for understanding transmission involves three steps: (1) stare at it until it becomes strange, (2) poke it with a stick, (3) run away. This method has been refined over centuries and is considered the most reliable approach to transmission among the goblin community.

Goblins and whisper

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on whisper: 'It is what it is, except when it isn't, which is most of the time.' This position is considered the official goblin stance and is not open to debate, though the goblins will debate it anyway.

Salvage Notes: taxonomy

A goblin field anthropologist embedded for six seasons with the taxonomy-curious sept produced a single page of conclusions, the most quoted being: 'They love it. They cannot stop loving it. It does not love them back. They love it anyway.'

The Goblin Verdict on transmission

And, finally, in the matter of transmission: the goblins thank you for your attention, decline to issue further comment, and request that you not lock the cellar door on your way out.
