Waymon's Crew

Lore & Background

Rumors of secret groups often circulate among Outies attempting to contact their Innies, but these typically refer to the Macrodata Refinement team or the Optics department. The only 'crew' that operates outside standard protocol is the MDR team's covert collaboration with Petey on the outside, not a group named Waymon.

In Their Own Story

The fluorescent lights hummed overhead as Dylan leaned against the break room wall. He tapped his ID badge nervously. 'Did you hear about Waymon's Crew?' he whispered to Irving. Irving paused, holding his lukewarm coffee. 'There is no Waymon,' he replied softly, glancing at the camera in the corner. 'Just Lumon.' Dylan nodded slowly, realizing some mysteries were solved by silence.

Reader's Guide

Lumon Industries operates on a strict hierarchy of severed and unsevered employees. The primary conflict lies between the Innies (work selves) and Outies (home selves), managed by Warden Cobel and her board. Departments like MDR focus on data refinement, while OPTIC handles image processing. No faction named Waymon's Crew exists; fans may confuse this with the MDR team or Petey's outside contact group.
