Poverty and homelessness are on the rise in Cardiff. The streets are full of the desperate and the dispossessed. So, of course, it’s the right time to open a 7-star luxury, all-inclusive hotel. And, naturally, the hotel is for aliens only. As the humans stand outside the gates and look hungrily in, there’s one thing that makes them smile. Someone is murdering the guests.
Tropes:
- Bizarre Alien Biology: Orr grows a WORKING ELEVATOR SHAFT inside of them due to the hotel's influence.
- Never One Murder: Multiple casualties as the story goes on. Ng saves one of them and is told off for being human. Which she isn't.
- Sapient House: Sapient Hotel.
- The Reveal: The Hotel is alive.
- Un-person: What the aliens view the humans as. They degrade the staff, they tell off Gwen for merely touching a guest to save a life, insisting they should "keep their filthy paws of them."
- Whodunnit?: A fairly thin one.
- The Empath: Orr's emotional connection to people allows them to save the day.
- Bloodier and Gorier: Audio example, so YMMV, but an alien is dissolved in an acid bath. It's supposedly quite grisly.
- Lovable Sex Maniac: Everything's better with a Harkness inside you.
- The Coup: Ro-Jedda, one episode after her introduction, has had enough. She Kills the Mayor.
-
Les Yay: Orr does seem a bit close with her masseuse. Then again, Orr doesn't have a gender, so this may not apply.
