Notes:

If the caller wishes the new Outsides to do the anything call working Concentric, the caller should so indicate (e.g., from a Tidal Wave: Divide The Ocean Concentric Shakedown).
There is no default direction or anything call. If the caller omits the direction | anything, then the original Centers Hinge; Partner Tag and Press Ahead.
