The Terrans from downstream didn't have high hopes anymore, but they were thankful to at least find people who could defend themselves.
Even if the territory was gone, they could travel with them to find a new home. They also seemed much better adjusted to the current situation, so it was probably a native territory, which was already better than what they could've hoped for.
After all, not long ago, they were certain they would die.
Faye was already thinking of how to integrate well with aborigines. Fortunately, they had Cree and Valma to help them out.
Speaking of that, she hadn't been able to thank old Cree for his protection. She never thought he'd do that at all, and she vowed to pay him back once things were more stable.
Anyway, she yelled for everyone to fight alongside these people. She wouldn't want them to be abandoned because they were seen as burdens. They must show that they, at least, could pull their own weights!
