Day 197 - 11:21 AM - Central Tent, Military Camp, New Infanta Settlement, Infanta, Province of Quezon
The return of Karlene and the others touched the hearts of Major Bautista and General Faustino. Right now, manpower was what they needed the most. And although uncontrollable in the past, Karlene was a powerful [Mutator] that needed dozens of soldiers to subdue. Since her powers were now controlled, it would not be wrong to say that she could be one of the most powerful individuals in this place.
With the help of Karlene and the others, they might have more chances to withstand the dangers that the settlement would face in the future.
While it was true that Karlene's case made people from the ruined Real Settlement hate her existence, they would not have any say in this case now. They could only accept her return as the settlement needed it.
