I have a good feeling the mallers had the colony in their sights even before Michaels transmission. The tower heard the colony on the radio, even before they sent Michael, Pegs and Kelly out to investigate, heck it is why they went. If the tower picked it up with their anemic surveillance, I am pretty sure Durai and his group would have detected it and sought to get someone in there.

I do not think a first strike on an unknown entity ten times the size of the tower matches Durai's style. So, I think things are more complicated than they appear.
I agree that the Mallers knew about the Colony before Michael's radio transmission. The decision to move on the Colony might have been spurred by the call, though. Once Scratch/Durai made a connection between the Tower and the Colony, however spurious, the decision to take it might have been made.

Also, I don't think Victor has a connection with the Mallers directly. IF there is a tie, it would be Family-based, but I'm not sold on Victor being part of the Family yet. I think his reaction to Angel's assassination video would have been different otherwise.

As for the Police Station itself, I feel like Scratch may end up there (if she's not there already) in an attempt to get a Pegs.
