I believe we will meld well with the so-called Colonistas. These colonists fled the industrial nightmare of Valencia over a century ago seeking a return to a low-tech, pastoral life. We will have a lot to learn from them as we adapt to this new world, to our new reality. To avoid further provoking the Umpala, we will have to abandon our technology and await the time of the Phoenix. I expect the Colonistas will welcome us as kindred spirits once they learn of our plans to abandon most of our advanced technology and establish a society very similar to their own.
