  • Seven and Mel visit Paradise Towers, a luxury 22nd century apartment building which has fallen into chaos and cannibalism. We meet the Red Kangs, the Blue Kangs and the Chief Caretaker, played by Adolf Hitler. Mel almost gets eaten by some old ladies, then she almost gets killed by a pool-cleaning droid.
  • Paradise Towers was designed by Kroagnon and had won several architectual awards. The motto of Paradise Towers was "build high for happiness". As with many of his earlier projects, Kroagnon refused to leave once his work was done, nor let people move in. Some of the residents imprisoned him in the basement, aware he would kill everyone in the buildings should he escape. The cleaners – robots, designed to keep Paradise Towers clean – stayed active.

  • Paradise Towers was designed by Kroagnon and had won several architectual awards. The motto of Paradise Towers was "build high for happiness". As with many of his earlier projects, Kroagnon refused to leave once his work was done, nor let people move in. Some of the residents imprisoned him in the basement, aware he would kill everyone in the buildings should he escape. The cleaners – robots, designed to keep Paradise Towers clean – stayed active. When war broke out, the young and the old were transported to Paradise Towers, while those in between went off to fight and never returned. The caretakers were exempt from this military service and stayed at their jobs. Pex avoided the war by hiding aboard one of the ships headed for Paradise Towers. The residents of Paradise Towers began to diversify. The young girls became known as Kangs and were themselves grouped into Red Kangs, Blue Kangs and Yellow Kangs. The old women became known as Rezzies — a distortion of the word resident; many of them turned to cannibalism, eating Kangs and Caretakers. The Caretakers themselves tried to control Paradise Towers and keep it clean. The cleaners were feared by all the groups, though the Chief Caretaker secretly used them to feed Kroagnon by killing people in Paradise Towers and taking the bodies to him.
