ALL THE UNASWERED QUESTIONS OF SEVERANCE LEFT UNTILL NOW

There's still a lot of questions unaswered since Season 2, this is all I've gathered so far, if you have more let me know

• ⁠What's Irving backstory? How did he know about the elevator to the floor Gemma was on? And how did he find out about Exports and have names and addresses of so many employees? What has he found out so far? I feel like his outie might already know a lot about Lumon and might be trying to complete some plan. Otherwise, why continue to work there for so many years while painting the dark elevator? (he has referenced he's one of their oldest employees) - I'm sure that if he is purposely not sleeping to try to comunicate to his innie trough dreams he must have a reason. Also, why did they show that he was in the military, why is that relevant?

• Who was Irving calling from the phone booth?

• Who is Burt Really? What's his backstory? What was Burt’s 'big sin' that necessitated Severance? He always seems to know more that what he says. Is he even severed?

• How did Petey get the cassette tape off the severed floor and where is it now?

• What was up with the dead seal during the ORTBO? And where did the ORTBO actually take place? What was supposed to be the endgoal with that whole 'trip'? And why did they made them sleep there?

• Why is the theme of water so referenced throughout the show? We have Lumon waterdrop sign, the watertower, all the waterfalls and lakes in the paintings, the waterfall from ORTBO, and overall all the snow in the town too..

• Is the Board real? Who is it and why don't they ever talk? It seams Ms Cobel doesn't know either

• What's Cobel's purpose? We know by now that she's not entirely on Lumon's side, even though she praises Kier like no one else does...like a cult. Why is she so fixated with Mark and Cold Harbour? Or is she avenging her dead mother?

• What's her past inside the company? We know that she designed and created the chip and that she used to be severed and her chip is now 'deactivated' - was she like one of the first ever people to be severed?

• And of course, what is Cold Harbour case? And what is the goal with MDR, how does that number system work? We hear Ms Cobel say to innie Mark in one of the last episodes at the cabin: "The numbers are your wife. A way into your wife's mind, Gemma." "Woe, frolic, malice and dread. The clusters are her tempers. Building blocks of her mind." (referencing the folders in his computer) "Every file you've completed is a new consciousness for her. A new innie", to which Mark says "I've completed 24 files." (Cold Harbour being the last one left). So what's Mark and Gemmas purpose at Lumon?

• Why is there a deadline for Mark to complete Cold Harbour? Will Gemma die?

Please enjoy all of the questions equaly.
