The High Technology Commonwealth was founded before the eyes of every Tech-priest visiting Ganymede. The news would spread rapidly across the entire Solar System, and even the whole galaxy, in an extremely short time.
Arkan Land had not been this excited in a long time. One of the Adeptus Mechanicus's foremost figures, he even optimistically declared that the fools following Kelbor-Hal were the ones who had missed the true great opportunity.

Whether in scale or efficiency, the two were not on the same level.
"I will lead by example and share the portions of the Red Alert's database suitable for research, along with STCs. These human legacies from the Dark Age of Technology are simply too tempting for grease-monkeys who believe in the Omnissiah. They cannot possibly refuse."
