Using "The Book of Twelves" as a road round have identified three such settles These include Kerrville, Texas; Roswell, New Mexico, the site of what has been called the "Roswell Massacre"; and the community we know as First Colony, in the San Jacinto Mountains of Southern California

The entire settleh-pressure sodium vapor lamps These were powered, we believe, by a stack of proton exchange membrane fuel cells, connected by a buried cable to an array of wind-powered turbines, also dating from the pre-Q period, located forty-two kiloonio Pass Seismic activity has substantially altered the northern slope of theFirst Colony to its priy source But we hope this will happen in due course

Inside the walls, we find several discrete zones of hu to a central core The outer ring, which has received theplatfore of artifacts, including, at the lowest levels, a variety of conventional firear at the upper levels to bows, and crossbows Though ly sophisticated in their design and manufacture, with arrow points honed to a width of just fifty microns--sufficient, we believe, to pierce the crystalline-silicate breastplate of an infected huions for sanitation, agriculture, livestock, co Structures in the eastern and northern quadrants of the interior appear also to have served as domiciles, perhaps for married couples or families The exposed foundation we see near the center see from the pre-Q period but converted by the citizens of First Colony to perfor, the most substantial structure on the site, could have been ee in the event that the colony’s outer defenses were penetrated But in daily life, it seems to have served as a kind of cos are reh But there is more "The Book of Twelves" speaks of First Colony as the place fro into contact with other survivors, including an armed force froical record to support these claie, open area at the center, and in particular to the object located on the northwest corner
