If something bad happens and she is blamed then she could get demoted and sent back or otherwise be called back to Atlas. They may even make her accompany the team to Atlas herself. Even if they didn't have her get sent to Atlas, she could be a major factor in the remaining episodes of this Volume of which there are still enough to make her character significant. OK, let me clarify: what NARRATIVE purpose? what does the story gain from having her tag along? She's an obstacle(obstructionist might fit better) character, her types are already represented in the cast, and leaving her there fills out the world with characters they can return to(or not), which means less to explain. Unless we are to believe she is somehow her base's best yet most expendable fighter sending her back to Atlas would be stupid.
