"You... I'm sorry? Are you kidding? Was that a joke?"

"..."

"Rejected. Under authority of Unity Group commander in chief, all your requests are rejected. You won't be allowed to go as you please. Ilinka Venczel definitely won't be allowed to go as she pleases. You don't get access to your units until we figure out what to do with them and..."
"And you're not getting another upgrade! The last one was very expensive, was that not enough for you? Are you insane?"

"My uncle... fuck!"
Loni jumps up from his seat - but before he could lunge at Antov, he's held in place by several security guards. Still, holding him is not easy.
"My uncle promised me! He made all those promises, and you broke them! You can kiss your funding's sweet ass good-bye!"

"I am not your uncle. I didn't promise you anything, and... and so be it. We tolerated your behaviour for long enough but it only became worse in time. If Unity Group needs to stay afloat without your uncle's donations then so be it. Frankly, no money is worth it."
After Gavin leaves, or rather is dragged away, the camera continues rolling - with Antov wiping the sweat off his brow. Then suddenly, he turns in its direction with a look of shock!

"Wait, is this being recorded?!"

"Of course it is."

"Yes? I'm sure you must have a lot of questions for me."
Following the recording, you can talk to the commander in chief in his office. He looks a bit uneasy and twitchy as usual. But also relieved, like if a great weight was lifted from his shoulders.

How about talking to Loni or Desta? Even though not in cells, they are under constant watch to make sure no one tries anything funny. Not them, nor people who are there to visit them.

"Fuck... so this is how we'd end up, imprisoned by our so-called 'allies'. If I knew... shit!"

"Just wait until we get out of here, Loni."

Lastly...

Ilinka is sitting in a cell. She doesn't pay attention to anyone who comes and goes, but if you call out to her - perhaps she'll respond?

I'm just surprised there isn't a line of people coming here to laugh at you goons.

Of course if you didn't keep whining about everyone here being mean to you like you were a spoiled whiny noble's brat.... which I technically guess you are in a way... you'd probably know that.

Surprisingly (or not), Desta butts into a conversation.
"Or is talking shit a part of a guard's duty now? What's next, torture? You wouldn't mind that either, right? Just following orders."
From:

[Peola just sits in front of the cell.]
Talking shit isn't a guard's duty. You're right. But as a soldier and a friend I need to figure out just how much of a threat you guys are and if you're going to end up doing it again.
[There was a wry smirk.]
And my ass of a father would probably say its my duty as a Princess of Magnolys to understand what drives you so a solution can be reached. Fat chance of that happening though.

Well one - I ran away because my father was being a sun damned idiot. Two because I have to do my part somehow when they don't need me fighting out there. Three because that was my job when I signed up with the Unity Group before they put me in the combat teams.
