I think this is the case as well...The Mallers took over the Colony that is. The Mallers cared more about having supplies like food, which the Colony has, and a safer base. If Micheal and Victor did take a good chunk of the Colony's ammo and armaments then they were made even riper for the picking shortly after the coup. Both the Colony and the Mallers had different types of radios and the Colony had a HAM so it's possible they were communicating for weeks with the Mallers without realizing they were signing their own death warrants. By now we should have all heard the last episode but just in case----------------------------------->SPOILER

In the last episode, Scratch is speaking with Angel in a hospital room. This is likely the hospital at the Colony.
