[ "Terribly inconvenienced." The understatement of the phrase is so absurd that it actually gets a rare huff of laughter from Boba. Yes, being kidnapped and dumped into an abandoned city is rather inconvenient, isn't it?
Still, it strikes him that she's right about how unnaturally empty the city is. This isn't Coruscant—there are plenty of trees and grass amidst the buildings. Yet now that he's thinking about it, he hasn't heard any birds or indeed any other animal life since he arrived here. In some ways, that's even stranger than the lack of people. People can be ordered to evacuate. Wild animals can't. ]
I haven't seen any bodies, either.
[ Of people or of animals. So a mass casualty event seems unlikely.
It isn't long before they enter the building advertising itself as a Tourist Center. Like the City Hall, it appears to be fully furnished, though Boba can see that many of the racks that look like they should contain books or papers are conspicuously empty. However, it's the shape at the very center of the small room that commands the most of his attention. It looks utterly out-of-place in the relatively low-tech space; a large block of silver metal, as tall as he is, with a screen taking up its upper half. The screen reads only: TOUCH TO ACTIVATE.
Well. This is definitely more interesting than the file cabinets full of empty papers in the City Hall. Boba takes another glance around to ascertain the room is truly empty besides him and the woman—then reaches up and touches the screen. ]
