Colonel S. Richey's Bed Covers
A set of hotel bed covers and sheets draped over a figure on the Royale suite bed — lightweight, ordinary bedding arranged to mimic a sleeping guest. The fabric lies loosely over a human-shaped mound until an away-team member yanks it aside, revealing a long‑decayed human skeleton beneath. Characters touch and pull the covers to expose the remains; the covers function as the visual mask that converts a surreal display into concrete evidence.

Purpose
To dress and cover the bed in the Royale suite; in this context the covers function as concealment for the preserved corpse and as a prop that hides the identity and condition of the occupant until revealed.
Significance
The covers act as the pivotal prop that conceals a centuries‑old corpse and, when removed, transforms the hotel's macabre spectacle into incontrovertible proof that real people were preserved and abandoned—escalating the moral urgency of the investigators' mission.
