Someone finally comments on that.

translates to:
"Information Censured by The Fabricator General and the Emperor"
Additional translation, we are not going to be told until QM is good and ready.
I'm betting that they have something to do with both the founding of the Mechanicum and the Men of Iron. Something like that would absolutely be kept a secret due to the religious schisms that it would cause. The only other thing that would make it more volatile would be if they were part of the creation of the STCs.

Great quest qm but i have some questions:
Is it because it's 30k mechanicus instead of the 40k one that they seem to care so much about ecosystems and seem to be relatively not assholes ?
The underground expedition we did at the begining of the quest was just to clear an area/single tunnel web of the underground right ?,because mars underground as a whole are supposed to be titanic as hell to the point that even 10k year later they are still filled with unexplored area and horrors.

30k Exploraror faction does care for the ecosystem in the way that it brings natural discoveries and unique lifeforms.
Miscalculation of the QM there. Next update I will add a new option for it. Thanks for that.

They're not afraid of new knowledge, I imagine that helps quite a bit. With 40K mechanicus, I imagine the destruction of alien ecosystems is an indirect benefit to them, because it eliminates new things they would have to be worried about as unknowns. There's no thought of learning something from them, only eliminating a potential future problem.
Honestly, that's pretty easy to justify. You could just up the difficulty level of these new sections, stating that they weren't available until you got more allies, improved your Tech, and improved your doctrines. Since now we've done all three to some extent, now you can access a couple of more sections that are considerably more dangerous than before.

"Well, I've got nothing."
Keep in mind that the Dark Mechanicus would have wrecked most of the containment measures that had survived the collapse into the Age of Strife and added their own monsters to the mix... and that even beyond that, the Mechanicus of later ages is just as poorly built of a societal system as the Imperium and is, on the whole, a net producers of horrible things to go off to hide in the underground and make it impossible to clear.
So all combined, it could very well be a lot easier to clear up if the Mechanicus of Mars had an earlier, easier time of pulling together due to our order actually helping to protect against daemonic forces (as opposed to what presumably happened in other timelines, which was being a vector through which warp monstrosities could afflict Mars).

That's fair and you have some good point but still,mars was one of the place with some of the most advenced if not the most advenced human stuff,probably one of the most developed human world and thus a very intersting place to target/fuckup for men of iron/chaos/other,even if all those agravating event don't happen it will still take millenia to realy clean fully clean the titanic undergrounds web of all the messed up stuff from the long night and before/after in it,tough it will likely take less time to just clean the biggest/badest part.

"Well, I've got nothing."
The main thing that would have held Mars back from clearing out areas that hadn't already been cleared out would have been hazards that they had no defense against -- which is what our warding schemes provided. You're basically extrapolating how bad it was in the future to it having always been that bad, when that's very much not the case. Mars is unified, despite its internal factions, and has been for quite a long while now. It is, in fact, entirely possible that the warding systems were all that were needed for the efforts of the whole of Mars to finish clearing out the remaining uncontrolled areas in a couple decades of work.

As far as i know mars realy united itslef between M25 and M30 so ok if it was closer to the first than the second then they would have had quit some time to clean stuff around but i realy think you underestimate the sheer size of mars undergrounds and even if only the parts with warp fuckery are left to cloean i would be surprised if it less than a half of the total with how chaos,the dragon and everithing elses went raw on the human worlds for milenia.
I don't disagree that wards (improved ones i don't think ours curents ones are advenced enough to deal with all the fuckery down there) could be the tool to finish clearing the stuff mars hadn't the right answer to so far (tough i hope we will meet things that will need the use of other tool/allies for more variety/fun) but even then it's not because we have the right too that it won't take very very long to meticuoulsy check every millions of kilometers of galery until we found every of the last criter on those damn undergrounds (especialy since i wouldn't be surprised to learn that more spawned in previously cleaned area.
But ultimately that's the qm decision.
Also by the way qm i found a map of M30 mars,it surpised me a bit but it's very interesting:
M30 mars
Where i found it:

maybe if we help improving thing enough we will be hable to keep a bit of that teraformation ?

I will treasure this.
Thanks.
The update will come next week, I have to write a business pitch for tomorrow.

Geez, that was close. We did not need a Nurgle break-in on top of everything else.
I think the qm said originally that we only cleared the very top layers. So the 'easy' to do stuffAs far as i know mars realy united itslef between M25 and M30 so ok if it was closer to the first than the second then they would have had quit some time to clean stuff around but i realy think you underestimate the sheer size of mars undergrounds and even if only the parts with warp fuckery are left to cloean i would be surprised if it less than a half of the total with how chaos,the dragon and everithing elses went raw on the human worlds for milenia.

So i could easily see that what we did was deal with alot of warp stuff so that the rest doesnt need to watch there flanks when guarding against deeper layers.
Two Research, two rolls. 
We do have a Chaos Save... But will it be enough?
EDIT: 58, 78! We are safe! For now!

Assuming there are more levels to Mars's Labyrinth than what we took over, I'd be down for pushing further into deeper levels. Given the nature of the next update, we'll have very firm logistics with the Basilikon Astra on our side, plus a measure of Titan support (plus our cemented alliance with the cybernetica) that we didn't have the first time. Our wards are stronger, tougher, more capable, and we have two demonic incursions that we gained vital experience from. There's literally no better time to tackle this than now.
I want to push as deep as we can into the Martian Labyrinth before the Emperor knocks and anything about his Great Crusade triggers off. That's a firestorm I'm not looking forward to. I want as much DAOT STCs as we can get before then, and below our feet is the best place to find anything.
