Where did the story told by Milchick in Woe's Hollow come from?
Since I've seen the episode, I've been thinking about the story he told, and I don't think it's "canonical" like the handbook. I'm almost certain that it's either:
a Lumon "fairy tale", either only for use in team building exercises like the ORTBO, or possibly also told outside (did Helena know it?)
or a story made by Milchick specifically for our group, possibly AI generated (since "Dieter Eagan" is an anagram for "AI generated")
It felt very much like a scavenger hunt for a child's birthday or something similar, only in corporate form. Milchick thought that he could fulfill the groups desire for "adventure", and thus make them focus on work once more.
Well, I saw on a YouTube video that in season 1 there was a sign advertising a band called "Dieter's Brother". This would make me believe that the brother is real or that the lore of him has made it outside of Lumen/the ORTBO
Ha, that would have been great, but his writing style is very different. I recently listened to the audiobook of "The You You Are", and his approach is very distinct. Also explains a bit more about the relationship him & Devon had with Mark & Gemma, definitely worth a listen!
