"All of you can finish filling out your sheets on the way over. If you would all follow me," Mr. Koryo said, glancing at a few of the faces he was familiar with. He glance stayed the longest on Tyson before he turned around and marched off.
Garrus followed behind the dark-haired man as he started to fill out his sheet. It only asked basic information, which Garrus wrote down quickly. 'At least it isn?t asking for anything too difficult,' he thought, hoping the rest of the Society was filling it all out accurately. The idea that any of the information would be found out to be lies was a scary thought, especially if whoever was interrogating them wasn't very understanding. 'What would happen then? Would we be able to explain our way out of it, or would they brand us liars and potential enemies?'
Now Garrus was starting to wonder whether the Society could take on a whole base if they were branded enemies, but before much thought could be put into an escape plan the dark-haired man led them into a lobby.
"You can all sit down here in the lobby. I shall take your sheets now and be back in a moment," he said, taking everyone's sheets before leaving them. He went through a door that was next to a large pane of one-way glass, the idea that they were being watched making Garrus more nervous.
"We'll be fine everyone," he told his friends, partially to calm himself down as well as them. Once he was seated, he started to glance around the rooms. He noted that there were four doors at the far-end of the lobby. 'Those are probably for the actual interrogations...'

"This is certainly some very interesting information," Renee said aloud, skimming through the sheets that Serdar had handed to her, "Definitely some interesting stuff. You can 'ead on back out and start sending the groups in to room one."
"You never said how you wanted me to group them," Serdar replied, looking away from her and out at the Society.
"That is right. First group shall be the red 'ead, the giant, and the robot. After that send them in as the group of familiar faces in the Resistance, than those that we would normally shoot on sight," Renee explained, watching as Serdar nodded and left to go do as he was told.

"You, you, and you will be heading into room one together first," Mr. Koryo said after he had come back out to the lobby, pointing at Garrus, Tommy, and Ethan. He jerked his thumb over to the first room, watching the three get up and head towards the door.
Garrus heard him telling the rest of the Society how they would be grouped up as he opened the door, but he couldn't hear the rest of it as the room one door was closed behind him. 'Small room,' he thought, sitting down at one of the four chairs placed in front of a table. It was eerily quiet as the three of them waiting, with Garrus proceeding to stare at a packet of cigarettes that had been left on the table.
"Ah I knew I 'ad left them somewhere," said a woman as she opened the door opposite them. For a second Garrus thought that his mother had been instantly transported in front of him. 'My mother isn't that tall, nor does she smile so much,' he thought as the woman sat down in front of them. It took him a moment to place it, but once she started to speak it hit him the two people she reminded him of. 'She's reminds me of Leland and my father.'
"Sorry about the short wait," the woman started off, placing down each of their filled-out refugee sheets in front of them as she said their names, "Garrus, Ethan, and Tommy. First off, it is nice to finally meet you. I shall be doing this interrogation of sorts. It won't be anything more than a few simple questions; ones that everyone will be answering today."
"Before that begins though I need to tell you two things. In this room, none of you will try to harm me, and you will answer all my questions truthfully." As she said those two things, Garrus felt an odd, fuzzy feeling in his head. As the feeling subsided, the woman started to ask her questions.
"One, are you indeed Garrus Arreos, the son of Camille Claidt and Roman Arreos?" Renee asked Garrus first, before repeating the question to the other two with their names and their parent's names substituted in. Garrus immediately replied yes to that question, before the next couple of questions were given.
"Are all of you from another universe? How did you wind up in this universe? Are any of you working for United America, or in its interest?" she asked them, nodding as their answers were given. The story of how they got to here all sounded almost identical; all involved a mad scientist and some sort of machine he had built that went off and sent them here. Even though Garrus was only going to tell the truth, he had a feeling that if he tried not telling the truth he wouldn't be able to. He noticed that Ethan seemed very tense as well, the cyborg answering the questions through his visor.
"I believe these answers are satisfactory. If the rest of your group's story is the same, then I will answer a few of your questions. Not everything of course. Even if I find everything you say truthful, there are still ways around it that can only be checked by another person. Which will 'appen to all of you tomorrow more than likely," the woman said, telling them that they can leave now and to send the next group in.
Garrus got up and opened the door for himself and the others, his face showing concentration as he tried to put the pieces together. He told Mr. Koryo that the next group was to be sent in. The man nodded and told the Resistance group to head on inside.
