The group are visiting an elderly residential care home, visiting one of the residents (Old Colleague/Family Member/Family friend). They can notice that the place appears to be extremely well staffed with carers, many of whom appear to have a more old-fashioned work/care ethic. It is possible that they may see a familial resemblance to some residents if they see photos with any of the other (sleeping) residents.
On their way out, having had a pleasant visit, they see one of the carers grimace and then wink out of existence, but no one else seems to notice or remark on it. They do hear an alert reporting that a resident has died, and will see a medical team rushing to their aid. They may learn that the resident was resuscitated, and they may later see the carer again, apparently unharmed.

Events:
• Arrival and noticing the sheer amount of caring staff
• Spend time chatting to resident(s)
• See carer ‘dying’ and wink out of existence
• Visit late at night and see someone try to break in, they are quickly vaporised by a carer (which similar to when the carer winked out of existence).
• Notice sheer volume of staff at night, including potentially one who appears to have a familial resemblance to the resident they were here to visit.
• Discover Alien tech hidden in one of the residents rooms, the facility head confronts them with several carers who suddenly look more intense and aggressive.
If they are clever, the group can keep the peace and discover that this system is giving all of the residents’ excellent care as a by-product to its giving this alien care. They can try to convince the system, through the alien’s consciousness, to cease vaporising people.
What is happening:
One of the residents in this home is an Alien who retired from a high ranking position, as a sign of respect for her service; a specialised care package was deployed. This package takes care of the residents by using projections of their younger selves as carers; this only works while the resident is asleep. But if the resident dies then the projection also seems to die.
Another aspect of the system is that if anyone tries to break in, the carer projections hunt down, and vaporise the intruders. The Alien resident is in a coma (and is acting as the head of the facility), but he is extremely long lived and is also aware through the projection and can manipulate it.
