The Lost Protocol of Thorne’s Enclave

Thorne’s Enclave, a massive Victorian mansion completed in 1890, was the home of the reclusive but powerful industrialist, Sir Elias Thorne. The house served as the private, regional clearing office for Thorne’s entire textile operation until 1899, when Thorne’s company collapsed following a massive, undisclosed labor dispute. The house was seized and immediately sealed. The HR core of the mystery centers on the Chief personnel officer, Mr. Julian Vane, who managed all of Thorne’s private and corporate employment documentation. His professional records—the Confidentiality Agreements, Employment Contracts, and HR Clearance Forms—should have provided a definitive trail for the massive staff reduction that preceded the collapse. Instead, the surviving archive is a study in contradiction, with large, systematic blocks of documentation entirely Missing and the few remaining records pointing to a Broken labor event that was purposefully Lost from the official account.

The Broken Employment Contracts

The Chief personnel officer was required to maintain meticulous Employment Contracts and keep sequential Confidentiality Agreements to track staff movement and legal obligations. The fact that the Confidentiality Agreements—which would identify the nature of the labor dispute and the terms of severance—are entirely Missing is a profound historical Lost gap. Furthermore, the complete Missing status of the HR Clearance Forms—which would have certified the legal departure of personnel—proves that the legal fallout was also entirely suppressed. The only surviving documents are the few ambiguous Employment Contracts with their “Broken” entries and the scattering of torn Confidentiality Agreement fragments, which suggest the Chief personnel officer abandoned his work mid-process. The systematic removal of the core documents proves that the entire record of the labor dispute was deliberately Lost, ensuring the specific circumstances and financial liability remained Broken from the official record.
