 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.

It was a letter from her Innie, Peggy K. 
  
-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.

- Several days later, Peg emerged from the Severed elevator with something tucked down the back of her pants. It was a bound document called [[The Macrodata Refiner's Orientation Booklet]]. A letter from Peggy written in plain English was taped to the front, explaining that Peggy had been in the [[Break Room]] after being caught with Peg's last note. It also explained that Lumon was updating the code detectors (presumably to pick up Puglish and other symbols) but that they were down on that particular day, which allowed Peggy to smuggle out the booklet out without anyone knowing. + Several days later, Peg emerged from the Severed elevator with something tucked down the back of her pants.

-The orientation booklet gave an in-depth explanation on how to refine a macrodata file, but not any more information on what the numbers meant. It also contained Lumon's general policies for Severed workers, including hygiene practices, dress code, inter-departmental fraternization, and communication between Innies and Outies. +The orientation booklet gave an in-depth explanation on how to refine a macrodata file, but not any more information on what the numbers meant.

 Even knowing the code detectors had been updated, Peg couldn't resist writing a note a week later on November 9th to ask if Peggy was okay. She emerged from the Severed floor ten minutes later with something wadded up in her mouth. It was the final note from Peggy:  Even knowing the code detectors had been updated, Peg couldn't resist writing a note a week later on November 9th to ask if Peggy was okay.
