 Peg Kincaid was a 54-year old divorced woman who lived in Topeka, KS. She had one older sister, Meryl Rasmussen, of Tacoma, WA. Peg and Meryl were very close as children, being only 11 months apart in age, and even invented a secret language called "Puglish" to communicate with each other. Puglish was a simple substitution alphabet that used symbols such as seahorses and lightning bolts instead of letters. The sisters used Puglish to write secret messages to each other that no one else could read.   Peg Kincaid was a 54-year old divorced woman who lived in Topeka, KS.

-Before joining Lumon, Peg worked for 12 years as a bus driver for Clover Elementary off Route 2 in Topeka. She enjoyed the job and the children (despite not having any of her own), but reached a breaking point one February after accidentally hitting black ice and crashing her bus into a ditch. It took hours for the children to be picked up and the bus to be towed, during which Peg and the kids had to wait in freezing temperatures with no heat. +Before joining Lumon, Peg worked for 12 years as a bus driver for Clover Elementary School off Route 2 in Topeka.

 After this harrowing misadventure, Peg decided she needed a new job. She went to the Lumon Industries branch in Topeka after hearing a well-placed recruitment ad on the radio. She was offered a position on the condition that she agree to the [[Severance procedure]]. In exchange for an office job with reasonable hours, great benefits, and four times the pay, Peg happily accepted. She considered not having to remember her work day an extra bonus.  After this harrowing misadventure, Peg decided she needed a new job.

 Peg worked at Lumon for two years without incident. One day in October she discovered a piece of paper in her pocket after exiting the Severed elevator. It was a note written in Puglish. Shocked, Peg took the note home and translated it. It was a letter from her Innie, Peggy K.  Peg worked at Lumon for two years without incident.

-Despite it being against Lumon's policies, and knowing it was endangering her job, Peg decided to write back. She composed a note in Puglish and smuggled it onto the Severed floor in her pocket. Peg and her Innie spent the next three to four weeks using this method to successfully communicate in secret. Apparently Puglish was different enough from normal language to not set off the code detectors. Peggy tried to explain her job in Macrodata Refinement, and what it was like working on the Severed floor. In return, Peg answered questions about her personal life and experiences. The two got to know each other, and Peg began to think of Peggy as a friend. +Despite it being against Lumon's policies, and knowing it was endangering her job, Peg decided to write back.

 On November 3rd, Peg received another Puglish letter from Peggy. In it, Peggy described being very excited after earning a [[melon bar]] party as a reward for finishing her latest macrodata file. She completed the file, called Lexington, at 2:30pm that day. That evening, Peg saw Daria Thorne from //The Topeka Star// on television reporting on a truck bombing in New York. The truck belonged to Dorner Therapeutics, a competitor of Lumon's, and was carrying their latest prototype when it exploded. Peg was horrified to hear that six people died. She was even more horrified to learn the time of the explosion: 2:32pm, two minutes after Peggy reported finishing the Lexington file. On November 3rd, Peg received another Puglish letter from Peggy.
