So what was that, an audience? Did they just want to give a once-over to everyone they picked up?
There were no theatrics this time as he mentally gnawed on the problem. Their status as not-exactly-prisoners was oddly unsettling. Sure, they had guards but there were no chains, no cuffs. He wouldn't have had to be a Jedi to get away from their escort a dozen times over by now. All of the people they'd seen so far appeared to have the run of the place. Then again, there didn't appear to be any way anyone was walking out of here either, so maybe they just felt they didn't have to do anything more to keep people in. Then on the other hand, there'd been no real guard set on the ship when they'd landed that he'd seen and if one was keeping prisoners, one would certainly want to ensure said prisoners had no chance of getting to transport out of there.
It was a puzzle, for sure.
His guard, at least, it happy he's cooperating.
As they are herded to their new quarters, he looks about again outside but still it just doesn't feel like a prison. At this point, he's broken enough people out of them to feel like he's an authority on the sensation.
They walk several hundred feet before they get to an opening in the wall and are directed into a passageway inside. The hall feels like there is a gradual curve and slope upward, as if they are following the wall still just..inside. Periodically, there are doors, most the old-fashioned kind that must be opened by hand. At least, Anakin thinks, it's not lit by torches.
Inside, they pass no one else, not even a droid--come to think of it, had they seen any droids since landing? One wonders if there just aren't that many people or they were being actively kept away from any other inhabitants. At least until the tour, presumably.
Before the curiosity and urge to start asking questions completely overwhelms Anakin, they finally stop before a door that looks just like all the others they've passed. "In here," grunts one of the guards before other pushes it open.
Inside is...a room. Nothing fancy, two low cots and a small lamp. The walls are made of the same stone as the rest of the wall and there are no windows but Anakin is fairly certain they aren't right on the exterior at this point anyway, windows would be useless. One wall, at least, looks to have an arched opening that Anakin assumes leads to a 'fresher. But otherwise, that's it.

"What?" he finally asks, "no HoloNet?"
