[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?

You know, answer me this: have you ever thought to wonder what the Unity Group would be like if everyone here acted like you three?
From:

She sits down and sighs. "Did Constans spill anything in the interrogation room? And...what Desta said about playing Frankenstein with Walt's demon eyeballs: was that true?"
She meets Antov's eyes. "Please tell me that's not true."

You expected the duo to humor you, Mizuki?
From:

Antov shifts around uneasily.
"It wasn't done by Unity Group but by an ESUN research division, but that doesn't change the fact that it's true."
"I didn't know until... pretty much until you knew too."
From:
no subject
But like I was saying... all this time you've been rather spoiled, you know that? Imagine if your way of doing things was the norm for military and peacekeeping groups.

The amount of funding that comes from Gavin's relative...how substantial is it?
From:
1
One. It's probably a needless worry, but...
[A deep breath, before Eva says her question in one go.]
Does the Unity Group hold, or has it previously held, samples of my genetic material? For the purposes of this question, if it aided another group in acquiring such a thing, that should be counted as well.
Um...please answer me sincerely.

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

So close but so far. If only you'd said that without the sarcasm, but like I told Ken before, the most important thing you lack is self-awareness. Your uncle's the only reason you were given so much leeway all this time. He was like a shield preventing everyone from addressing the elephant in the room regarding you and your friends.

[Time to get to thinking.]

Why were these matters hidden from us?

"We didn't do anything members of Unity Group didn't do! You're hypocrites! Why are you looking down on us?!"
He throws a wild punch!

"At least I hope so."

"I didn't tell anyone in Unity Group about the experiment with Walt Schmertz, because I didn't know about it. It wasn't something Unity Group was involved in."

By all means, give me examples of this hypocrisy and you'll have my attention. For starters, if you could single out an instance where we set a city ablaze to flush out our enemies, I'd love to hear about it. If you can't think of an example, I'll gladly call for for a history of our operations just for safety's sake.

It may not be much compared to what he can provide, but with my memories back in order, I may have some resources and funds to share with the Unity Group as well.
Should you have anything you urgently require, do not hesitate to approach me.

[Peola just shakes her head.]
From how I heard it you did a good job of it yourself anyway.

You.
You said it would be enough, and now this...?
[The fact that people like these were getting favors with those who made the decisions doesn't sit well with her at all, but she's restraining herself.]
From:
no subject
Loni tries to throw another punch. But, warning or no, for the guards it's too much and they tackle him from all sides.
"Dammit! She didn't... she didn't do that because she wanted to!"
