Saul is my favorite character, and if the tower were to fall under attack with him in his current condition, I don't see much hope for his survival.
They are just too far away for something like that to work. cb radios don't have that kind of range, like 15 miles max. I can tell you right now, the distance between LA and Santa ana, is a LOT farther, it's a good two hours travel time between the two cities. Even at the very beginning, when victor proposed the idea, michael said, it's prly not gonna work, just because of the range issue, they never had a shot, it was just a blind attempt to make contact. Also i will bet you anything that if anything kills saul, it will NOT be this illness. think about it, why the hell would you drag out his suffering for 7 chapters, THEN have the MPK group actually FIND a cure for saul, and THEN have him die, that's ridiculous and by all means terrible story telling, i'm not saying he wont die, but it sure as hell wont be because of the sickness.

Maybe if they hold a public execution or lashing, Michael will get his forum for overthrowing Marcus. I can see the Colony, under Michael's leadership, being a replacement for the tower.

yes we know the colony is massive, that's exactly why an assault led by the colony alone would be a disaster, and that's where the mallers come into play. And i don't think Michael will be able to sway the people just because he got lashes or because of a public execution, and here's why, NO ONE KNOWS HIM, he's just some dude, that was rumored to be marcus's second in command, and that's prly not gonna happen anymore. He's only been in the colony (awake and running anyway) for a day or two, he spent the other week or so in a mini coma, we the audience know he's a big deal, but as far as the colony residents are concerned michael doesnt matter.
