[Following is transmitted around Unity Group bases.]
"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?

So, here is my question for you: what are you aiming for?
From:
no subject
Loni sounds like he doesn't know himself, pondering the question from all sides.
From:

The true reason you yourself chose to be involved in everything so far - this is what I'm asking you. Is it really to protect others from the Good Men? Or...

I'm sure part of you has realized it by now. You cannot save everyone. No one can.

That's why you won't be doing any more than you already have.

Saving everyone is impossible, so it's my responsibility to save as many as I can with my own two hands, and not put them in harm's way.
On the other hand, you don't even realize that your team's behavior goes against that very goal.
