Gasp and giggle. The biggest union at my brother's employer went out on strike. Company took the opportunity to clean and spiff up the (now empty) factory--and found at least a dozen hidden, unauthorized lounges, complete with card tables and cots. Would you call those Rogue Sections? Your working experience there sounds just plain eerie. I'll bet your novel is entertaining, too. Shimmer. Cool. The Rogue Sections? Gasp and giggle.
