Medic Kaul lay on a bed in a hidden room in the tunnels; his wrists and feet were bound using the prisoners' bar bindings. It was a foot-long bar with cuffs on each end to separate the limbs. The Ramesians learned long ago that you had to keep the limbs separate, or they could find a way to escape.
Medic Kaul was oblivious to what had happened to him. After his full interrogation using the truth serum, he was sedated and taken to one of the hidden rooms where Aleigha led them. It was one of the rooms that only she knew about. Aleigha didn't show them the one that was identical to the hidden city. She wanted a safeguard for herself if something happened again.
According to the Law, after his interrogation, Kaul should have been executed immediately. Council Leader Vorik didn't want to do that in the event he needed to be interrogated again. He didn't want to miss any small detail of information that Medic Kaul might have, considering he was the leader of the militia.
