[Reminder: With bags over your heads you mostly only have your hearing to rely upon.]
After around 15 minutes all of you hear the low drone of the propellers slow down to a stop. Multiple heavy footsteps approach the room you're being held in and then the sound of several locks and bars being removed from the door. You hear several guards enter the room who roughly drag each or you to your feet(or carry Kee who is hog tied). They attach you to each other with chains and then begin pushing you in the direction they wish you to go. When a strong breeze blows against you you assume your being led out of the airship. The ground benieth your feet sounds like metal and while walking Tomeal, Selina and Nacesh bump into some kind of railing when they stumble slightly off course. After maybe 50' the wind disappears and with the slam of a door the sound the rumbling engines is cut in half. You all are then led a little further and around a couple of corners until you're told to halt and wait. A few moments later you feel yourself being lifted, then coming to a stop. Now the sound around you changes. Many tapping noises can be heard as you're led through another area and then told to stop. Another door is closed and the tapping noises are cut in half. Suddenly you're blinded as your hoods are pulled off your heads.
"Take a seat!" One of the guards grunts.
After squinting a few moments for your eyes to adjust to the bright light, you all find yourselves in a large grandly decorated office.

After you all take or seat (or decide to stand) the guards move away but keep their weapons readied in case anyone attempts any escapes. The binding that hogtie Kee are removed around his feet so he may also take a seat. About 10 minutes later you all hear footsteps approaching from above. Looking up at one of the railings that surround the outside of the room some 15' above the floor, you see an aged man holding a wine glass in one hand and a black cane in the other. He has thinning shoulder length stark white hair and a short beard with mustache. He wears a long black suit jacket with silver buttons equally spaced down each lapel and peaking out from beneath a black vest with sliver embroidery on the right side. His skin is pale white except for a vertical sword-like tatoo that runs a few inches above and below his left eye.
"Ladies... Gentlemen... welcome," the man states in a deep gravelly voice. "You have caused quite the stir with the authorities with your sudden arrival to my great city." He pauses a moment to take a sip from his wine glass. "Normally I would forgo formalities and just start doling out ReMakings as punishment but in your unique circumstances I will make an exception. My name is Magistrate Ilhelm. I am the Law in the New Crobuzon. What exactly are you doing in my city?" Before one of you answer he holds up his hand and adds, "Be very careful how you answer. New Crobuzon has serious punishments for outworlders."
