**Item #:** SCP-ZH-161

**Object Class:** Safe

**Special Containment Procedure:** Currently, the whereabouts of Unreality Department liaison Alex Thorley should be identified and located.

**Description:** SCP-ZH-161 is an anomalous phenomenon which affects the Unreality Department liaison office, in which most items and the environment are hard to identify and comprehend both sensationally and conceptually[[footnote]]This is thought to be the result of gradual detachment over a long period of time.[[/footnote]], and the items that are identifiable will move on their own during typical Foundation work days. The list of items is shown below.

**History:** 

SCP-ZH-161 was first discovered on 21/2/2027[[footnote]]Alex Thorley being in their position for exactly 5 years [[/footnote]] by a patrolling security personnel in Site-19. The office door was half-opened, and as such the personnel was able to observe its primary anomalous effect.

Note that Alex Thorley has zero record of absence from onboarding to this very day.
 
**Addendum:** Incident 

On May 2029, according to Foundation labour policies,  Department of Human Resources sent an email to Alex Thorley regarding a mandatory one-week leave, and temporally removed their right of access from SCiPnet, no response was received. However, during the aforementioned week, the office suffered from a second-degree detachment, and the sole identifiable thing was an unidentifiable cassette-like voice repeating "I don't know" which persisted for 98 hours 22 minutes and 7 seconds. No conclusion was made regarding the forensic analysis of the audio.
