Based on the information provided in the text, the most logical conclusion about Francisco’s exploring is:
Francisco and other people in the colony aren’t allowed out of the fence alone because of dangers like needle dogs.
This interpretation stems from the presence of the electric fence and the warning sign indicating that needle dogs are active, suggesting that there are significant dangers outside the colony that prevent people from exploring freely.
