Canon
OUTLAST: WHISTLEBLOWER

UNDERGROUND LAB

Scientists ask Waylon for his assistance with fixing the program of the main console. While he is doing so, one of Murkoff’s test subjects, Eddie Gluskin, manages to escape the guards’ grip and runs towards the reinforced glass between himself and Waylon, pressing up against it and begging him for help; this frighting Waylon. After Eddie is restrained and forced into the Morphogenic Engine’s pod, Waylon manages to establish the connection and is asked to vacate the premises.

DRYING GROUND

Hours have past, and Mount Massive Asylum is undergoing a massacre of patients and personnel alike. Upon exiting a pipeway, Waylon finds an electric fence blocking his way. On his search to find the power switch to turn off the electricity, he enters a building on the left and hears screams of pain. He also sees a grinning figure through a blocked door, who turns and regards Waylon briefly before moving on. This being Waylon and Eddie’s first “encounter” since the Mount Massive Asylum Incident started.

Notes/Documents:
 * In the shed that Waylon drops down and enters through a window to the left is “The Groom” document, reading: “Above the knees, below the navel, Sliced and sewn on Gluskin’s table. To make a place to push inside, The Groom will make himself a bride.” (x4)

VOCATIONAL BLOCK

Soon, Waylon leaps off a water tower’s peak onto an old wooden balcony, a jump that he underestimates and plummets through the roof. There he is constantly stalked again as he attempts to escape the block, this time by Dennis, a patient with multiple personality disorder, who mutters about a terrifying groom downstairs in need of a bride. A friendly variant warns Waylon about the very same man before Dennis chases him deeper inside, a part in which one of Dennis’s personalities call “Gluskin’s Hell”. Shortly afterward, Waylon tries to open a locked door, only to be greeted with Eddie, who presses his face against the glass of the doors, smiling and calling Waylon “darling”.

Eddie’s hunt for Waylon begins. He chases Waylon from room to room and then to a beat down elevator, where Wayon jumps and grabs onto a ladder that breaks under his weight. As he falls, a broken piece of the ladder lodges itself into his ankle. Waylon pulls it out in agony. As Eddie watches from a few levels up, he can’t seem to fathom why Waylon would hurt himself like that. He soon comes to the conclusion that Waylon would rather die then be with him. As he tells Waylon to die, he turns on the elevator. The elevator rises and Waylon jumps out at a lower level. Eddie sees that Waylon is gone and tells him they’ll “continue”.

Waylon limps away as fast as he can, alas to no avail, Eddie reaches him, forcing Waylon to hide in a locker. …Just what Eddie wanted him to do. Eddie soon appears, locking the locker. He pushes the locker to a different location, in full view of his buzz-saw table. To help Waylon “relax”, Eddie gasses him, knocking him out.

12 hours later, Waylon slowly regains consciousness. He helplessly watches as Eddie murders variant. He soon losses consciousness again to come to Eddie murdering another. Waylon goes out again. The next time he wakes he’s strapped to Eddie’s table, naked. Eddie tells him, ''“You have amazing bone structure. Such soft skin. You’re going to be beautiful.”'' Eddie readies the buzz-saw and is about to cut away anything of Waylon’s that he finds “vulgar”. Just then, another variant runs up and pushes Eddie away, before hitting him. Eddie runs after him, allowing Waylon his chance to escape.

As Waylon limps away, Eddie soon finds him. He limps as fast as he can, in and out of rooms, before jumping out of an open window, severely hurting his already hurt ankle. Eddie screams out the window, ''“You all want to leave me? Is that it? You want to leave me? Fine! Go! You and the rest of these ungrateful sluts!”'' Waylon limps to another building, coming up to locked door. He begins searching for the key. Waylon soon comes to the gymnasium and sees Eddie’s previous strung up victims. He’ll hear Eddie singing the song “I Want A Girl (Just Like The Girl That Married Dear Old Dad)”. Waylon will come across a chapel and see the keys he needs hanging off a dead body dressed like a bride. Eddie will call out misogynistic slurs and begin chasing him. As Waylon reaches the locked door, before he can unlock it, Eddie comes up behind him, grabs him, then punches Waylon out of the room, into the gymnasium. He throws a noose over Waylon’s neck and drags him, moments later hoisting him up. Waylon struggles, with his weight causing some of the ceiling and pulley system to break away, which forces Eddie to use more strength to lift and attempt to hang Waylon. Eventually, Waylon’s weight becomes too great of a burden for Eddie to lift. This causes a sudden weight shift in the pulley; Waylon falls, while Eddie is caught up into his own ropes and pulled upward to be impaled on a hanging metal bar. Eddie uses his dying breath to grab Waylon’s hand, sadly telling him “We could have been beautiful.” Waylon falls down and lands on the ground, causing Eddie to be further impaled on the bar, killing him. Notes/Documents:
 * Waylon can find Eddie Gluskin's document, titled Project Walrider Patient Status Report of Eddie Gluskin.
 * Acquired by recording the table on which Waylon nearly lost his genitals. Waylon can write the note “An Unwilling Bride”, writing: “Still intact. I’m here, Lisa. I’m still me. He... He tried to make me his bride. To cut me. Maybe I was wrong. Telling the world would only draw it here. Should this place just die and fester here? I won’t tell the world if it means spreading the infection. Let it die alone, let it rot.”
 * Acquired by recording Eddie Gluskin’s corpse, impaled on a metal beam. Waylon can write the note “A Widower”, writing, “He’s dead. The amateur surgeon, father-to-be, husband. His guts shredded and pulled from his belly. I’m trying not to laugh. Oh, God, Lisa, I swear to you I'm trying.”
