Alex Thorley/Synopsis

The history and its interpretations of Alex Thorley from the .
==Background==
Not much is known about Alex Thorley's origin and past except they were born on January 16th. When they were a child Thorley used to love reading books and went to school. One time during Halloween, Thorley and their fellow students participated in a writing contest which involved writing something scary. Thorley didn't win but instead looked at the other students' works, becoming particularly interested in the winner's work which was just a blank page with a sentence explaining that it had been intentional as it would scare the teacher. Thorley would have hazy memories about this event, and wasn't even sure if they had been present. Later in their life, they entered a relationship with a great boyfriend, but during a party, when the he offered to kiss them, they chickened out and left the party, opting to instead drink some more Soju.
==Working for the Foundation==
Thorley was somehow recruited into the SCP Foundation and became a member of the staff over at the Foundation's Site-19. Thanks to their skills Thorley was chosen to join the mysterious Department of Unreality. However, upon arriving to the planned orientation of the Department, Thorley became confused at seeing the room completely empty except for some bagels that defied geometrics. They at first assumed that RAISA had made an error in the scheduling, but then came to the conclusion that despite the Department existing its members weren't real.
A few days later, Thorley was summoned by RAISA to talk about a newly created personnel dossier regarding the Department posted by their account. Thorley tried to explain that they had no clue on how it came to be, as they had been unable to log into their account and didn't know anyone at the Department. The RAISA member didn't believe them and was sure that Thorley had just done a mistake in the database. Thorley relented and admitted that they had accidentally created the dossier despite not being the case. With that, Thorley went back to their apartment where they thought back to the dossier and how it listed them as the Department's Reality Liaison.
Because Thorley was unaware of what they were supposed to do due to the Department of Unreality not being registered anywhere, they ended up just wandering around Site-19 in the incoming days. That was until Thorley was met with their very own office which had suddenly appeared out of nowhere in place where there was previously just a wall. Figuring this was part of the Department's machinations, Thorley entered their office which was devoid of everything except for a pile of papers on a table. Reading the top paper they learned that they would be transferred from Site-19 to Site-184, and in that moment the room around Thorley changed as they lost consciousness. Regaining their senses, Thorley exited their office only to be met with shocked staff members who activated a portable reality anchor which erased the office from existence before taking Thorley to a containment cell. After their identity was verified, Thorley was informed to have been teleported to Site-184 and their office was an instance of SCP-6208. Thorley was given a room to rest until the higher-ups understood what had happened, and wanting to spend some time they went out to the dock. There Thorley was approached Emma of the Fishing Council, a group Site-184 staff members that went out fishing biweekly, and invited them to go fishing together. Thorley accepted after Emma had security allow them to get out of the site, and the two hopped on a boat to fish. While fishing, Thorley and Emma talked about the event that caused them to be transported across the country and their jobs at their respective departments. As the air of sea calmed Thorley, they became determined to learn more about their department and take their job seriously. Returning back to Site-184, the personnel approached Thorley requesting their help a new matter. Thorley agreed to help and met with memeticist Jennifer Williams telling them that a new office appeared and required their help in investigating it, though Thorley wouldn't enter it. Asking how the new office looked, Thorley was informed that it was mostly empty except for a fish tank for their fish they had just caught.
Due to SCP-6208, Thorley again was transported elsewhere, this time arriving to SCP-120 in Poland. As soon as they exited their office Thorley witnessed the entire site being on lockdown due to a spatial anomaly happening in an anartist exhibition within Esterberg. Informed of what was going on, Thorley accompanied the Foundation staff to the anart exhibition where they learned that it had all been a bluff by AWCY? member Lorem Ipsum after her audience was unsatisfied with her original performance.
Studying the effects of the object designated SCP-6938 which removed unnecessary events from reality, the Departments of Unreality and Pataphysics had Thorley review some documents with Dr. Placeholder McDoctorate as part of a test. They would've had a discussion about the anomaly, but because of SCP-6938's effects most of their conversation was omitted and their interaction soon ended in an awkward manner.
Transported to Level 1 of Site-7, Thorley wished to go to the site's Bluefin Shear where the dormitory was located. Searching for someone to ask for directions on how to get there, they entered the men's bathroom where they found Dir. Lague at a urinal. Going behind him, Thorley asked Lague on where Bluefin Shear was, startling the man. He responded that would be in Platform 6, earning him a thank from Thorley who soon departed. Lague then attempted to tell them that they would require a helicopter to go from their current location to Platform 6, but found that Thorley had already disappeared.
In a unknown site which Thorley presumed was in Canada, they noticed an announcement about a Halloween party happening soon, and became determined to attend it and get along with their fellow personnel. After overthinking about what kind of costume they should wear for the party, Thorley decided to wear a simple handmade ghost sheet costume and with their costume ready they joined the party. There Thorley hoped to befriend the other attendants, but to their disappointment no one dared to even notice them, leaving Thorley to stand all alone apart from everyone else. Sitting alone at a table, Thorley noticed McDoctorate was also attending the party and attempted grab his attention by waving at him, but McDoctorate only looked at them and moved on. Desperate at gaining some friends, Thorley took their costume off and went to the bartender where they began drinking. Putting their costume back on, the costumed party suddenly became more lively as the Demons from Undervegas joined in, making Thorley uncomfortable. Seeing a circle of people laughing, Thorley joined them at which point they were offered another drink that they accepted. Becoming drunk, Thorley began imagining that they were free to be their true self, traveling around Undervegas and gaining a close friend at last, until they came to their senses and saw security escorting them outside of the party. Thorley tried to explain themself, but due to being drunk they could only mumble, causing the security guards to pull their costume off of them and bring them to their dormitory. The next morning, Thorley learned that they had been in Site-19 all this time, and contrary to what they experienced Thorley had attended the party for only ten minutes before leaving to go to their office where they spent the remainder of the night. This may have been all a delusion on Thorley's part, or reality had been rewritten by the demons to hide what actually transpired, but regardless of what had happened in the end Thorley received some candy.
Having grown sick of eating just bagels, Thorley one day decided to get out of Site-19 and go to the nearest Burger King. They went on foot without problem, and took their place in the long line of people ordering their food. Eagerly waiting for their turn, Thorley finally arrived at the cashier, but upon being asked what kind of food they would like to order Thorley was unsure which item to choose from the menu as all of the options seemed tasty. Seeing that they were wasting the cashier's time, Thorley straight up asked for a simple cheeseburger with fries, though the cashier gave Thorley a bacon cheeseburger with fries. Food in hand, Thorley went to the last unoccupied booth which was particularly unpleasant, but didn't really care as they were too hungry. They devoured instantly all of the fries which earned a few looks from the other customers, but in that moment Thorley didn't mind the bad attention they were receiving. However, as soon as they got the burger in their hand it completely disappeared the moment they tried to bite it, shocking Thorley. The cashier soon confronted Thorley, admitting that the burger had been an illusion, as he had been forced to trick them by his superiors, though the fries were real. Confused at this situation, Thorley thought back of a similar event during an orientation of their Department which they barely attended in time or find a tight spot, only to remember that they were still in the orientation; their trip to Burger King having been nothing more than a false memory. Thorley then met with memeticist Jennifer who assured them that everything was alright and they both would talk later about this matter.
Again hungry, Thorley called some bakery to order a bagel. After a failed call, Thorley contacted a shop but it only sold donuts which they didn't mind. Before they could make their way to the bakery, Thorley had to find a way out of the room they were in. Eventually, after walking for some time Thorley managed to get out of the room and walked over to the shop. On their way, Thorley came across a mother and her daughter who felt uneasy in their presence, and after a brief exchange the two immediately left. Thorley went to the bakery where they met a girl who appeared to be the cashier. Thorley told her their name and that they had ordered a donut, but the girl told them that no one with that name had called. Still the girl gave Thorley her bagel, which they gladly accepted.
In Dr. Lawrence's office, Thorley learned that a Foundation underwater facility had accumulated several anomalous artifacts and they were tasked with going there to help with their study. Arriving to the deep underwater facility, Thorley participated in a meeting between the on-site personnel, but was unable to get invested in the discussion about logistics and instead thought of how lonely people must feel in this facility, how life should be under the fear of the water pressing against them and if cannibalism was common in these type of secluded Foundation facilities that ran out of food. After the meeting ended without any resolution, Thorley found their way to the facility's hydroponic farm where food was grown. There Thorley thought that the plants' lives were miserable as they were trapped in this small isolated place where they would be eaten and never reach their full capacity. Getting lost again during their investigation of the artifacts, Thorley entered a rotunda beneath a dome separating them from the water above. Looking at the personnel going on their daily business, Thorley found it strange how these people just kept doing their work without worrying about the water engulfing them all, until the alarm suddenly activated along with the site being on lockdown due to some accident. Once the situation was resolved, Thorley went to a table with thirteen fishbowls, all of them being full except for one, and as soon as they sat Thorley left. Meanwhile, another version of Thorley was present in the shore above the sea where the facility was located. There, this Thorley began crying, looking into the dark sky the message "Humanity is the real anomaly" and realizing that humans could be such selfish creatures that harmed everything around themselves for no good reason. With nothing else to do, this version of Thorley looked at the dark sea, seeing that there would never be any real meaning to all of this, before coming into a metaphysical contact with the main Thorley. The duplicate told Thorley how they were above the sea and Thorley beneath, and added that they were both one and the same but had nothing in common, and with that the duplicate left. Thorley eventually finished their assignment at the underwater facility, and returned to Dr. Lawrence's office. Lawrence congratulated an exhausted Thorley on their success and rewarded them with some sushi, though they refused to eat despite previously expressing a desire to eat some.
One day, the Foundation decided to investigate Thorley due to the mystery around them. As part of this investigation they asked them to write on a sheet of white paper anything they knew. Unfortunately for Thorley, at that point they didn't know anything to write, and as they struggled to come with something to write they noticed that their pen had run dry and they instead imagined writing entire books. Thorley soon reminisced of the time around the Halloween contest, but seeing that it was a long time ago, they decided to just leave the page completely blank.
On 21st of December, Thorley attended a party in Site-59. However, the site was attacked by the Chaos Insurgency, led by general Joseph Armstrong, who mistook Thorley for Dr. Lillihammer. Thankfully, by pure coincidence, the attack was successfully thwarted.
On December 24th of 2019, Thorley was transferred to Site-322 as they were part of an investigatory research. However, during their stay most of on-site personnel began accusing Thorley of killing someone, being totally convinced of this claim despite being completely unfounded. In order to explain this inexplicable accusation, the personnel believed that Thorley had used an anomalous mean to commit the murder, which was designated SCP-7591. To ascertain the anomaly's existence, Lague interrogated Thorley asking them whether they were willing to murder someone or not, but Lague failed to gain any full answer as he wished to wrap it up quickly and be done with this matter. As the staff was convinced that Thorley killed a person, they were forced to leave the site and be transferred to another facility the next day. While packing their items, Thorley opened their closet, only for a bloodied corpse identically resembling them to fall out of it. Quickly calming down, Thorley called somebody, telling them that it had happened again, as this wasn't the first time a dead duplicate of them appeared. Thorley informed the caller this time the situation was worse as the entire site had slandered them, but then the caller told Thorley to get rid of the body which they reluctantly abode. Thorley proceeded to put the corpse inside a trash bag and sneakily threw it out of the site.
As Christmas was closing in, Thorley was affected by the Foundation's attempt at fighting SCP-3004-1, and after reporting visions about this event they were transferred to Site-06-03. On December 23rd of 2022, Thorley kept working in their plan office in the presence of Unreality personnel Jane Goe. Jane reminded Thorley that a party was being prepared for the festivity, but they declined to participate, opting to instead spend their time doing their work. Goe then told them that because of the snowstorm outside food couldn't be delivered, forcing the personnel to make up with what they had on the site, and suggested that Thorley could help by cooking some food for the party. That night, Thorley experienced a dream in which they were sitting inside a Roman Catholic church in starry night, standing in front of a chancel containing a Tibetan Buddhist funeral altar for Jennifer Williams. Inside the casket, instead of a body there was the Bardo Thödröl, or the Tibetan Book of the Dead, and the only exit was behind the chancel. Thorley had go beside the altar but they refused as it felt disrespectful, and eventually woke up.
Returning back to the dream, Thorley found themself sitting on the pews inside the church again and wearing heavy clothing due to the cold weather. In the dream, Jane Goe entered the church and climbed up to the chancel, where she began undoing the altar dedicated to Williams, before she was interrupted by Thorley. They told her that Williams couldn't be dead as they had just hanged out together, and asked if this entire scene was some sort of metaphor. Goe finished disassembling and asked Thorley what they wished to have. They were reluctant to respond as they didn't want to bother Goe but she assured them that they weren't bothering her. Thorley then said that they wished for a Rubik's Cube, a bigger fish tank, a burger to eat, two groups of fish to keep as pets and eat, and a cat. Goe was confused on why they wanted both fish and a cat, but Thorley refused to answer and wished to just sleep on it. Goe respected their wish, and left Thorley alone to sleep as she exited the church with the Bardo Thödröl in hand. The next day, Thorley looked through their computer for some recipes and learning how to bake. Goe, who was again with them in their office, encouraged Thorley to continue with this, and as they read various cooking websites Thorley went to retrieve a pan and tray that Williams lended them. 
Dreaming again, Thorley found themself under the chancel's wooden boards where they felt inexplicably warm. Soon they saw Goe approaching the chancel, but before they could recognize her she immediately left the church. Thorley then pushed the boards aside and climbed out from beneath the chancel, seeing the church was completely dark and empty. As they walked through the building, Thorley felt melancholic until finding a wreath beneath a pew which made them so happy they woke up. Re-entering the dream, Thorley were again in the abandoned church, playing with the wreath, moving around the church and occasionally approaching the now destroyed chancel. As they spend their time, Thorley expressed why they wished for those gifts: wanting a Rubik's cube to play all day, a cat and some fishes to give them a home as they found pets being sold and discarded as cruel, and wanting to live in one place forever. Feeling suddenly cold, they climbed back to the chancel and checked the hole they had previously made, finding a sleeping Williams inside. Williams soon woke up, and told them that this place was warm before she slowly disappeared. Surprised from what they saw, Thorley decided to get into the hole and place the boards back on them, just as Christmas lights began manifesting. Feeling calm from the lights, Thorley got distressed when the lights went out and the entire place fell into darkness, forcing them to light a match. As a shadow grew over them, Thorley began crawling through a wet crawlspace in the hole, eventually finding the Bardo Thödröl on a snow pile. Thorley was unable to understand any of it, and then some wind blew over them which extinguished the match. With nothing else left to do, Thorley went back to the dark hole, leading to them waking up.
In their free time, Thorley continued practicing their cooking skills, stressing out about the quality of the food, but nonetheless enjoying cooking. Goe told them to not be nervous and reassured them that the party participants would undoubtedly enjoy their food. Thorley went back to their dream, this time finding themself in a snowing environment surrounded by total darkness. Approaching a frozen lake with their ingredients in hand, Thorley saw their reflection which was actually the Essodeer who had been left weakened by SCP-3004-1. Thorley proceeded to use their ingredients to make a hot chocolate for the Essodeer, and after finishing it they slid the cup across the frozen lake's surface, freeing the being. Upon being freed, the Essodeer and Thorley went together to a river which separated their dream from the real world. The Essodeer passed through the river, going to the real world where they took Thorley's form, replacing them for the time being while Thorley themself temporarily remained in the dream world.
While Thorley was in the dream world, the two lovers Williams and Goe worked together to fight SCP-3004-1, and after some struggle they managed to vanquish it, freeing the world of the Cicada God's influence. Thorley was subsequently freed and preparing for the incoming Christmas party, they finally cooked crepes, sugar cookies, toffee puddings, and hot chocolates. On Christmas, Thorley went to the party which was also attended by Dir. Bridget Callahan, Agent Timothy Luttermann, Dir. Paul Lague, Dir. Jay Dune, SCP-5595, Researcher Doe, and even Williams who also held Goe's consciousness in their mind. Thorley presented them with their food, delighting them all. They thanked Thorley for the delicious food, and 5595 even apologized for accusing them of murder. After the feast was finished, everyone gave Thorley their gifts. These included: the Tibetan Book of the Dead, a 50$ Visa gift card, a gumball, culinary implements, a 2012 map of Eurasia, SCP-6416-CUBE, and a cat that would be designated SCP-7195. This event caused everyone to become friends with Thorley, and with the party over Thorley went back to their quarters where they went through their gifts. Reading the Tibetan Book Goe spoke to Thorley, telling them she was unable to keep SCP-3004-1 at bay anymore and they needed take over this task from them. From then on, every 33 years, Thorley would go on adventures and go against monstrosities which they would defeat with the help of other versions of themself. Through this, Thorley would never be alone and always made sure that everyone around them spent a great time.
A doppelganger of Thorley began appearing, known simply as the Other Thorley and designated SCP-7227. This caused Thorley to be confused for their doppelganger by several people like the cereal mascot Grand Karcist Ion of Calcium, Researcher James and Res. Algahst Trintavon. This upset Thorley, but when casually encountering the Other Thorley in the facility, they attempted to talk to them, only to lose them out of sight. Left with nothing else to do, Thorley went to their room where they found the Other Thorley. They attempted to ask their supposed doppelganger why there were two of them with the Other Thorley explaining that it didn't really matter before elaborating that they shouldn't be upset that people were confusing them since they both were Alex Thorley.
The Foundation found a structure underneath the abandoned Super Crunchy Bagels which had ten rooms that were supposed to contain Thorley's happiest memories, fears, dreams, family, friends, co-workers, purpose, identity, past and future, but were all empty. Staff designated it SCP-7393 and had it locked up all the time, but on January 1st of 2023, Thorley entered the facility to check all of the empty rooms. They then took out their knife to carve on a wall that despite not being a special person they still existed before completely disappearing. Thorley apparently reappeared, but had no recollection of the event.
Thorley was assigned the task to write a new file about a colony of mole crabs. However, Thorley was unable to bring themself to continue writing it and as they dozed off they found themself in a secluded beach with the mole crabs. Although confused, Thorley didn't ponder much about this situation and wearing a wetsuit they decided to go swimming in the cold sea. As they swam and got hit by waves, they thought back when they last swam or how they learned to swim, while forgetting their task. Suddenly they were draged further into the sea and covered by a more enormous wave, causing Thorley to sink beneath. In the abyss they saw the silhouette of a surfer before being enveloped in the nothingness. Struggling for air, Thorley suddenly found themself back at their office, completely wet and still wearing their wetsuit, while another chair had manifested in which their folded dried clothes rested on. They then noticed that they added just bit more to the unfinished file and saw it as a great success. They proceeded to change their clothes, but noticed that their fish tank now contained a small colony of mole crabs which were the anomaly Thorley was writing about.
On the Winter solstice, SCP-5925 sent a letter to Thorley, inviting them to an event held by the Fae Winter Court to settle a situation with the Pattern Warden. Thorley received the letter, but soon discarded it, refusing to participate.
When Dr. Lague struggled with his work on his SCP-001 Proposal which was about the inexplicable failure on the Foundation staff's part to properly contain anomalies despite their immense resources, Thorley was asked alongside other personnel to report events they found affected by the anomaly. Thorley sent their report about SCP-6848 and SCP-6849 to Site-322, explaining that the anomalies' designations had switched and when staff attempted to open their files their computers melted. This, along with other reports, helped Lague to form proper containment procedures for SCP-001.
Growing bored in their office, Thorley reminisced about the sunlight and decided to get out for a bit. They tried to find a way out of the unfamiliar site, but as they navigated they got lost, until coming across a ray of light shining through a crack in the wall. Mesmerized by it Thorley stepped through the crack, finding themself at the entrance of a secluded town named Greenlouth with the population of -1. Thorley realized they got lost, but while waiting for the Foundation to track them, they decided to explore the seemingly lifeless town. They approached several houses, knocking on their doors despite their social anxiety, but no one answered which assured Thorley that the town was indeed abandoned. They then checked out the cemetery, only to find the headstones had nothing engraved on them. Thorley figured that this meant there were no bodies buried beneath and the cemetery could've served as just a memorial, but didn't dare to dug the graves up to confirm. They proceeded to wander to the town center where as they looked into a bakery with still edible bread and thought what was their purpose in this town, since everytime they were teleported somewhere they had some type of job they had to fullfil. Looking into the town hall through its broken entrance, Thorley thought who changed the population sign if no one had ever lived in the town, suspecting that this entire thing could be just a big joke. After that they entered an abandoned theater and as they observed the damage done by time Thorley thought of how it was possible for a town to have a population of negative one. Exiting the theater, they came across a broken sundial with its gnomon laying on the ground pointing to the road ahead. Thorley went window-shopping as they traversed the road, until going to rest on the steps of a church to wait for the Foundation to arrive as there was nothing else for them to do. Eventually a self-driving car arrived to pick Thorley up, and as they left they noticed that the population sign this time had no number, thus making the town completely devoid of life.
One time, as Thorley went to sleep and began hearing voices identical to their own which were in fact their thoughts, they entered a weirdcore reality, where they would become obsessed with how plexiglass affected their life, which Thorley's coworkers in their Department told them not to worry about too much. In this dream world, Thorley encountered the Voices Of The River Sleep that took form of abstract symbols who spoke in a nonsensical manner, often advertising or speaking to them to a personal level. After biding to them goodbye, Thorley met a humanoid with the head of a furry and the two immediately formed a deep bond between them. The being asked Thorley if they could switch heads so they could have a furry head on their shoulders, before discussing again about using plexiglass. Sadly, Thorley was forced to depart and return to the real world where the being didn't exist, and so they said goodbye and woke up.
Continuing their work, Thorley tapped at their keyboard, typing whatever they were tasked with writing. As they kept working on their computer, Thorley immediately grew extremely bored, and eventually became increasingly hungry. Isolated in their own cubicle, Thorley lamented silently how they could have already finished this task last night, but were just unable to bring themself to do it. This situation got so bad for Thorley that they decided to break their keyboard in half, and now that they were unable to work on their computer anymore, they decided to circle around their cubicle and shuffle through their manilla folders. After that was over, Thorley, seeing that there was nothing else to do, deemed their task over and left. This incident would cause some concern within the higher-ups.
Thorley was transported to Area-14 and upon exiting their office they came face-to-face with a shocked Dir. Thomas MacLean. Concerned that he was dealing with a mind-affecting or reality-warping anomaly, MacLean brought Thorley to his office for questioning. Thorley told him that they were an employee of the Foundation's Unreality Department, prompting MacLean to contact RAISA to be informed of this department which he had never heard about. RAISA confirmed the department's existence and told him what the deal about Thorley was. Baffled at being told to just let Thorley roam around the facility unabated, MacLean attempted to gain additional information from them, hoping to see if Thorley had any knowledge about Dr. Scott's research, but seeing that their conversation was going nowhere he decided to confine them to their office. MacLean and two of his guards escorted Thorley back to their office where they would spend the remainder of their time in the facility, but upon opening the door he was further shocked to see a whole living elephant, SCP-8591, inside. He quickly chalked it up to unreality nonsense and had Thorley trapped within their office anyway, telling the guards to not let anything or nothing come out of it.
A elephant designated SCP-8195, either the same as SCP-8591 or a different elephant altogether, began following Thorley around. Early in the morning, Thorley, followed by SCP-8195, went to a coffee shop where they requested the barista a matcha latte with oat-milk and a cheese-cake. However, while making their order, the barista recognized them as the famed Alex Thorley and attempted to start a conversation with them, mistaking their order and misgendering them. Understandably, Thorley was feeling uncomfortable, with SCP-8195 demanding them to address it, but despite this they corrected their order to the barista. They got their order, but before leaving the barista asked if the elephant wanted anything, but Thorley denied that it wanted anything. Later SCP-8195 was reclassified as Neutralized.
Noticing their shower drain was clogged, Thorley decided to clean it up by themself as they refused to go outside to get a drain cleaner or talk to either their landlord or a plumber. They managed to take out some hair, but then touched a mat that was clogging the drain. This reminded them of an identical situation that happened to them some years ago when they were at someone else's bathroom. Just like now, Thorley attempted to clean the drain only for their hand to touch a wet cloth-like object which hurt them to touch, but thankfully it had unclogged. Hoping that by just taking out the hair would be enough for the water to drain without taking the cloth out, Thorley turned the shower head on. To their dismay, water began filling, forcing them to turn it off again. Left with no other option, Thorley inserted their hand into the drain, grabbed the cloth and with all their might attempted to pull it out. After some struggle, Thorley at last managed to take the cloth out of the drain, and saw that it was a unbuttoned grey dress shirt that didn't fit them. With the shirt out, the drain was finally unclogged which pleased Thorley.
While Thorley was busy working in their office, the Other Thorley met up with Mari MacPhaerson of Vikander-Kneed Technical Media and as part of the latter's documentary showed the entire facility they were in which took the appearance of a nonsensical penis factory. The two of them made numerous jokes about penises, and occasionally played with Thorley's cat before arriving to their office after Thorley went to the bathroom. Just as Thorley was about to exit the bathroom, the Other Thorley and MacPhaerson quickly fled in order to not get caught, but in their hurry forgot the camera which was still recording, that was until Thorley found it, at which point it ceased recording.
==Possible Endings==
===Disintegration===
Thorley was working in their office in Site-19 as per usual, when suddenly someone broke inside the office. Seeing that it was an armed individual who somehow knew them Thorley asked if they could be killed peacefully. Unfortunately, this didn't happen as Thorley was shot several times, while the office was transported to Site-43. Stumbling out of their office and into the site's cafeteria, Thorley went to rest on a chair, and as they lost blood from their wounds they soon fell and perished.
Between life and death, Thorley found themself in their apartment where they spent the following days just laying around, having no energy and confidence to go outside and continue their work for the Foundation. As entire days came and went, Thorley refused to leave their apartment, but as they rested they saw a doctor performing an autopsy on them. Back to their "apartment", Thorley's surroundings were soon shrouded in complete darkness after the lights gave out. In the darkness the living room changed which now led to a unrecognizable kitchen, freaking Thorley out. After thrashing the kitchen to find any evidence of their presence, Thorley was faced with the doorway to their office. Avoiding it, Thorley made their way to the exit door which now instead led to their bedroom. They went through their stuff to find a vial containing a liquid, which turned out to be SCP-6938, and upon finding it they immediately drank it. This soon caused the world around Thorley to turn grey, and after a while they found themself outside of their apartment and in the streets of Portland. Falling into despair over being dead and having missed out their chance to live a proper life, Thorley wished to return to life. Going through a phone booth, they returned to their apartment before coming back to life in the morgue. They attempted to break out of the metal locker to no avail, and after screaming for someone to hear them they died again soon after. Their body was inspected by the Foundation staff and a duplicate of them, and seeing nothing unusual with the corpse it was cremated and all of Thorley's duplicates were disposed of.
===SCP-6763===
The Foundation's Divisions of Surrealistics, Antimemetics and Unreality discovered that the sky was comprised of Pattern Screamers. This caused great distress within staff to the point that they decided to resign altogether. Thorley was one of the last remaining staff members of their respective Department, noticing that their important files were being wiped clean, and to add to this situation, Director Doe advised everyone to not look up at the sky. Set to be interviewed for this matter, which had since been designated SCP-6763, Thorley arrived to the interview room before the interviewer Dir. Masonet. When the latter entered he was startled at seeing Thorley so punctual, not having noticed them before arriving, but nonetheless they proceeded with the interview. Thorley explained to Masonet that the Unreality Department had somehow less staff and related to him what Doe had told them.
