If they truly wanted to stay hidden and rebuild/repopulate (bow chica wow wow!) wouldn't they want to take down those rescue signs? The fewer people who follow the signs, the fewer people know about the Colony. That appears to be a main bullet point of the Colony's Mission Statement.
Sorry I missed this theory on the other threads and thanks for catching me up!
While this is not a two page essay, I will accept this as your homework assignment.
They would use the funneled entrance to bring in new people like new prisoners. Think of it live walking in a canyon single file with armed guards above you on both canyon walls. If they don't see your value then they seperate you and kill you.

On another note, Marcus doesn't need Michael's military training. He's lying. Marcus killed Sean because Marcus was using something/someone to make Sean do the bad things that Marcus wanted. Sean eventually had enough and lost that thing/person or stopped caring. So Marcus killed him before he destabilized him.

Marcus needs a replacement but he can't just promote someone. In comes Michael. Sure the military training gives him some "street cred" but the real reason is Michael came strolling in with his "someone". Then just to make it painfully obvious to the Colony that Michael would do anything for Pegs, he goes and beats up a guy in the middle of the Colony. Marcus knew about this love and sees it as a way to make Michael do whatever he wants, thus letting Marcus be the "good cop".

Therefore, Pegs will have to stay but Kelly will be the one to get out with Saul's meds and alert the Tower. Only she will get back there and find an empty tower. They moved on to the Military Training Base thinking that Michael/Pegs/Kelly died (logically since Kelly will not be able to get out for sometime). Thus Kelly will now have to get to the now-relocated tower OR admit that she was the traitor and get help from the remaining Mallers. I think the later.

How close am I, KC?
