Contacting the NPC is not your next step. The campus must contact NPC - so if your heart is set on an NPC group you should begin to see what would be required to open up the campus. Once the campus is open,NPC groups will be invited to submit applications, and then groups are invited to make presentations on campus. NPC groups colonize one of two ways - either taking over an existing local, or starting from scratch and forming a group themselves. It may well behoove you to find out if the two locals are interested in becoming NPCs - there is strength in numbers, and the more of you there are to advocate opening up the campus, the better. It may well be that it would be best for your campus to have several NPC groups come on at one time. But that is getting ahead of the game -
