Of course they knew that, in fact, all the Arks could only be made through union and collective effort. Otherwise, if there were selfish motives, if there were opposition, why would those aloof Deities offer up everything they have?

Alliance!
Trust!
Discussion!
Intelligence exchange!
'Food' exchange!
Form a united meeting!
Form the Ark Alliance!
...
For a moment, countless thoughts filled the minds of leaders of these Arks; they had never been so close to seeing hope.
