  A close high-mass binary system consisting of a neutron star (NS) and a
massive OB supergiant companion is expected to lead to a TZO structure, which
consists of a NS core and a stellar envelope. We use the scenario machine
program to calculate the formation tracks of TZOs in close high mass NS
binaries and their subsequent evolution. We propose and demonstrate that the
explosion and instant contraction of a TZO structure leave its stellar remnant
as a soft gamma ray repeater and an anomalous X-ray pulsar respectively.
