Meanwhile, at two o'clock in the afternoon, the councilors of the New Clark City Camp convened for a secret meeting in the office of Maria Santos, a leader among the original camp residents. The air was tense with concern and unease.
"Ma'am Santos," one of the councilors began, "the presence of Blackwatch is increasingly encroaching on our way of life. Each afternoon, we're startled by the loud sounds of missiles firing from their base. General Peralta made attempts to communicate with Blackwatch, seeking explanations, but they were dismissively turned away. This lack of transparency is unsettling."
Another councilor chimed in, highlighting a more pressing issue. "There's growing discrimination within the camp. Original residents are being denied basic services. Some Blackwatch survivors openly suggest that we should dissolve our council and fully let their commander-in-chief, Richard Gonzales. It's creating a divide and fostering resentment among the people."
