The officers cuffed everyone in turn: regular for Strohger and Ayia, but for Allera they had to cover up to her shoulders. It took a few minutes of logistics and processing, but before long they'd collected a pair of mysterious-looking bands. They slid onto the wrists of both Shim and Variance with unnatural ease, though they didn't seem to be doing anything... yet.
"You will each be led to a seperate holding cell, which will serve as your temporary prisons until we find time to interrogate and room to put you in. Expect further questioning within a few hours, and-"
His wristband bleeped a couple times. The officer frowned as the message relayed through his earpiece.
"...I see. Well, then. As it turns out, you will all be sharing a set of rooms on the SI deck. Admiral Kalin will be interrogating you personally."
Ayia swore a little. Quietly, though.
