This report documents the findings of a six-month investigation into anomalous employee activity records associated with commercial properties classified under Municipal Code 7.4.2 as "operationally dormant" — commonly referred to in public discourse as Ghost Buildings. The investigation was initiated following a routine audit of badge-access logs that revealed a statistical impossibility: 340 active employee access badges were logging entry and exit events at Ghost Buildings across the Circuit district on a daily basis.

The badges are real. They are registered in corporate HR systems belonging to seven different Tier 3 and Tier 4 corponations. Each badge is associated with an employee record that includes a name, an employee ID, a hire date, a department assignment, a compensation level, and a benefits enrollment. The records are complete and internally consistent. They pass every automated validation check. They are, by every metric the HR systems use to determine whether an employee exists, legitimate.

No human being has been verified entering or exiting any Ghost Building. This determination was made through a 90-day surveillance operation involving physical observation teams stationed at building entrances, supplemented by municipal traffic camera analysis and pedestrian flow modeling. During the observation period, the 340 badges logged 14,280 entry events and 14,280 exit events. Zero of these events corresponded to an observed human being passing through a doorway. The badges accessed the buildings. The people the badges belong to did not.

The cafeterias in Ghost Buildings compound the anomaly. Seven Ghost Buildings in the Circuit maintain active food service contracts. Daily meal counts are recorded by automated point-of-sale systems that track badge scans at cafeteria entry points. The systems record an average of 85 meals served per building per day. Food is ordered from suppliers, prepared by kitchen staff (who are real people, interviewed as part of this investigation, and uniformly confused about where the food goes), and placed in serving stations. At end of day, the food that has not been consumed — which is all of it — is disposed of according to standard food-safety protocols.

Network activity logs show that the 340 employee badges are associated with workstation logins that follow normal business-hour patterns: authentication at approximately 8:30 AM, logout at approximately 5:45 PM, with standard lunch-break gaps. The workstations are physically present in the Ghost Buildings. They are powered on. They are logged into. But the login sessions generate no user activity — no files opened, no emails sent, no applications launched. The sessions exist as authentication events without subsequent interaction, like someone opening a door and standing in the doorway for nine hours without entering the room.

This office recommends immediate escalation to the Municipal Authority's Anomaly Review Board. The 340 employee records are not forgeries. They are not system errors. They are entries in databases maintained by some of the most sophisticated HR platforms in the Great Lakes Maritime Zone, and they describe people who do not appear to exist in physical space. We do not have a classification for this. We do not have a recommendation. We have 340 names, 340 badges, and 340 empty chairs, and we are requesting guidance.
