        <div><em>"The work is mysterious and important, and we deal with the uncertainty it brings us in the way Kier would've wanted. Together, as a family." - </em><strong><em>Mark S.</em></strong></div><div><br></div><div><img src="https://ideascdn.lego.com/media/generate/lego_ci/379ae1e5-194e-462c-97cd-3fe4144238af/resize:1200:675/webp"></div><div><br></div><div>I've built the <strong>Severed Floor of Lumon Industries</strong> from the modern masterpiece show <strong><em>Severance </em></strong>in LEGO, despite the Eagan rule to not render his creation in miniature, oh well! The show has quickly climbed the ranks on my favorites list, and like with most shows and movies I watch, my thoughts go immediately to how I would translate them to brick-form, and I just had to give Severance a shot. This turned out to be the most fun LEGO project I've worked on yet, and I'm really proud of what I was able to do with it. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I enjoyed refining it!</div><div><br></div><div>For simplicity's sake and to keep it open to as wide of an audience as possible, this idea is based solely on aspects from the first season of the show.</div><div><br></div><div>The set is a twisting and turning jumble of hallways and rooms that represent some of the most iconic rooms found on the Severed Floor. The set is separated into four major sections and two side sections that slide together to make one massive display, with details from front to back! <strong>The set includes...</strong></div><div><br></div><ul><li><strong>Macrodata Refinement; </strong>a wide open office space with four interconnected desks in the middle. Macrodata Refiners spend their work day scrolling through a vast spreadsheet of numbers, categorizing them into five distinct buckets based on how said numbers make them feel emotionally. No one on the MDR team knows exactly why they do what they do, but hey, at least they get to enjoy the occasional melon bar and music-dance experience! The desk clump features vertical sliding dividers and can be easily removed from the floor to display on its own!</li><li><strong>Macrodata Kitchenette; </strong>a small kitchen area for the refiners to take a quick break, drink some coffee, eat some Lumon packaged foods like "Raisins - Shriveled" or "Ginseng - Cubed", and chat amongst themselves.</li><li><strong>Wellness Center Lobby; </strong>a comfy waiting room lined with green benches, decorative grass boxes, and a painting depicting Kier Eagan himself. This room is where Irving and Burt first fell for each other, finding mutual appreciation for Lumon's paintings.</li><li><strong>Wellness Center; </strong>a rounded, dimly-lit room used for Lumon-mandated "wellness sessions" run by Ms. Casey, where she reads lists of seemingly random facts that pertain to the employee's Outie in an effort to put them at ease with themself. The floor is covered in various stones, all surrounding the central circular platform, with a sprawling tree to tie it all together. </li><li><strong>Perpetuity Wing; </strong>a bizarre museum dedicated to the history of the Eagan family lineage that Irving thinks will help Helly find meaning in her new life as an Innie. My representation of the Perpetuity Wing features a minifigure of Kier Eagan as his wax statue depiction. Behind him is a printed element meant to suggest the continuous dark hallway and a sign pointing towards the other exhibits.</li><li><strong>Waking Chamber; </strong>a room designed to look like a standard meeting room, in which newly employed Innies are awoken on top of the table to take a brief survey, five questions. On the table is a speaker box for the awakener to use for communicating with the new hire. This section as well as the Perpetuity Wing can either be connected to the back of the model facing the hallways or disconnected for separate display!</li><li><strong>Elevator Lobby; </strong>a spacious entrance to the Severed Floor with four green armchairs and hallway entrances on either side. Outies travel down the elevator from the Lumon Industries building just above, and Innies return to the elevator at the end of the work day. The doors for the elevator are able to be opened and closed with the two handles at the top of the build!</li><li><strong>Deputy Manager's Office; </strong>Milchick's office area, complete with a coffee cart, a wall of cabinets, and a computer monitor tracking Helly's progress on the Siena file.</li><li><strong>Management Office; </strong>Cobel's newly moved-into office, hence the boxes still scattered about the place. Cobel's office is typically where the Board, a mysterious entity that seemingly controls Lumon, is contacted, usually via the speaker box or through Natalie, the PR rep of Lumon. On the shelf behind her desk is a small sculpture of Kier Eagan's head.</li><li>Also represented is the <strong>Staircase Doorway </strong>marked with a "SVR'D Threshold Restricted" sign and the <strong>Testing Floor Hallway</strong> depicted via a printed panel.</li></ul><div><br></div><div>When all of the sections are connected, the set measures over <strong>47 inches in length</strong> (about 120 centimeters), is around <strong>12 inches deep</strong> (about 30.5 centimeters), and is made up of a total of <strong>3865 pieces</strong>, and would make for a striking display piece for a shelf or coffee table!</div><div><br></div><div>Featured are four of Mr. Milchick's carts, including the Melon Bar, TV, Music-Dance Experience, and Egg Bar, each with their own pedestal behind the Management office for easy storage!</div><div><br></div><div>I love to design my own prints, and so I went all out with the decals for this set! Some of the notable custom prints include the Four Tempers painting, Cobel's office paintings, the MDR portrait of Kier, Mark's crystal head cube, Helly's outie on the TV, Mark's copy of <em>The You You Are</em> by Ricken Hale, the MDR and Administration computers, the new MDR group photo, Dylan's 100% caricature incentives, the speaker box, and more!</div><div><br></div><div>The set also features <strong>12 minifigures</strong>, including Macrodata refiners <strong>Mark S.</strong>, <strong>Dylan G.</strong>, <strong>Irving B.</strong>, and <strong>Helly R., </strong>Severed Floor manager <strong>Harmony Cobel</strong>, deputy manager <strong>Seth Milchick</strong>, wellness counselor <strong>Ms. Casey</strong>, Optics &amp; Design employees <strong>Burt G.</strong> and <strong>Felicia</strong>, PR rep <strong>Natalie Kalen</strong>, head of security <strong>Doug Graner</strong>, and a Perpetuity Wing wax statue of <strong>Kier Eagan. </strong>Oh, and then there's a <strong>baby goat</strong>.</div>
