Now that we know about Fort Irwin, Boulder and the Rescue Missions I wonder what is going to happen regarding the Colony.

We know that the Colony started out as an evacuation site, probably for refugees who were processed through Fort Irwin. When the evac helicopters stopped coming the survivors continued fortifying the site and it grew into the Colony.

It seemed clear to me that COL Kimmet was unaware that the Colony exists. Once Michael fills him in on its existance it's going to raise a big question. Should the survivors from the Colony be evacuated to join the population of Boulder? Or should the enclave be reinforced and developed in an effort to maintain a toehold in Southern California?

In either case, how should Fort Irwin deal with the "management" at the Colony?
