#29: Grace Curtis, Floating Hotel

This reminded me a bit of Starship Titanic, a bit of The Spare Man, and a bit of Firefly. A bunch of miscreants, misfits, and lost souls end up finding refuge and employment on an interstellar hotel that is slowly becoming derelict. The origin of the ship is a mystery, and one of the crew is secretly a well-known anti-imperial agitator being pursued by government agents. Apart from a few glimpses of spies torturing people for information, it's a warm and hopeful story.
