Anina simply watched on as the young man was savaged. If there was one complaint she had it was that they wasted time and didn't simply go a choke, making him pass out. Or use one of their more smooth tools like sleeping gas. Then again, it was more likely that they were simply making an example of him. A warning to those that showed dissatisfaction with the empire. Even the officer that made the crowd move along seemed to confirm it.

While she didn't care much for what was happening, she did hold a certain amount of respect for the young man, despite not even knowing him. In that he dares to express his desire to be free from the current regime regardless of injury to his self. Although he might've gotten more than he bargained for.

Before she let her thoughts roam a bit too freely, she moved on with the crowd to the lower-class area of the ship. It wasn't anything spectacular, as to be expected. If anything, one could almost consider it suicidal to sleep without a care seeing as there were no doors to keep anyone with their hands not in the right places away. The channel showed the usual, a flavor she had long gotten tired off.

Naturally, it wouldn't do to simply be content with surveying this area, as it led to other rooms as well. So she began to look around for anything she should be aware of. Even if this wasn't the battlefield, it didn't mean that there wouldn't be someone who was all too eager to present a knife to flesh.
