colonist

One powerful colonist alone refused to obey: Mem de Sa ordered his house to be surrounded and instantly levelled with the ground.

For the merman turned and caught at Dalgard, pulling the larger colonist along a step or two with the urgency of his grip.

If these mermen had not seen a colonist before, he might resemble Those Others in their eyes.

About the other's narrow hips was slung a belt from which hung pouches and tools the primitive colonist could not evaluate.

He was not going to allow himself to be pushed onto anything foolish, whether this "colonist" could read his mind or not.
