Who Is Asal Reghabi?
Played by Karen Aldridge, Asal Reghabi is a key determine on Severance (and never simply because her title sounds probably the most like a Star Wars character of anybody within the forged). First launched in season 1 episode 6 “Hide and Seek,” Reghabi was a Lumon worker who went rogue. She seems to have labored for the corporate in a scientific or biomedical capability as she claims to have put in the severance chip in a number of worker’s brains – together with in Mark’s (Adam Scott).
Now she works towards Lumon by growing experimental “reintegration” expertise that may un-do the severance course of and make severed staff entire as soon as once more. It’s due to this reintegration work that her path crosses with Mark. Early on in season 1, outtie Mark is contacted by his outdated work buddy Petey Kilmer (Yul Vazquez). Petey claims to be present process the reintegration process and desires Mark’s assist in becoming a member of a resistance towards Lumon. Unfortunately Petey ultimately dies from problems of reintegration.
When Mark activates a cellphone that Petey left behind, he instantly receives a telephone name from Reghabi and agrees to satisfy along with her in an outdated lab constructing at Ganz College. Before Mark can get a lot info, he’s approached by Lumon thug Doug Graner (Michael Cumpsty) who Reghabi promptly beats to loss of life with a baseball bat. She instructs Mark to go residence whereas she handles Graner’s physique and assures him that they’ll meet again up once more in some unspecified time in the future to “finish what Petey started.”
“We were interrupted, if you recall,” Reghabi tells Mark on this episode of their first assembly. Indeed we do now recall.
What Is Reintegration?
Reghabi arrives to Mark’s residence in Severance season 2 and convinces him not do one thing dumb by burning a message on his retinas for his innie to learn. Apparently the “switch” from outtie to innie dilates the pupils to offer a clear visible slate anyway. Instead, Reghabi advocates for Mark to do one thing arguably even dumber to get info out and in of Lumon: try reintegration.
As Reghabi tells it, reintegration is a technique to sew collectively the innie and outtie consciousnesses. We noticed just a little how that labored in season 1 when Petey, regardless of quitting the MDR flooring on Lumon, was nonetheless capable of entry some fractured recollections from the within. Of course, Petey additionally paid dearly for these recollections, one thing that Reghabi is keen to elucidate away to Mark.
