Then the decision has been made to move forward, and the whole of the teams stands intact and ready, we will advance carefully, with each point having been carefully considered. It is not impossible that we could advance with deliberation and intention; rather, this has been the track laid out by the previous steps we have taken. The action to take today is to take stock of past works and accomplishments, so that we can project forward a positive path, taking into consideration what we have learned in the past twenty years, and think optimistically about the path that lays ahead.
The items at hand today are as the items at hand a month ago, but here I provide a few more details:
1) The skyscrapers requested are five in number. There is one major project tentatively planned for San Francisco, and single skyscrapers otherwise designed for different locations. The one for Saskatchewan mentioned in the last memo is not a complicated build, but it differs from expected for it has a large rooftop green garden, complete with a water feature, partially enclosed with a tall transparent wall. Greening is an aspect of build that we should need further research on. Sub-infrastructural components such as underground watering systems could be accounted for before build embarks. More on this in future memos.
2) The matter of protective zoning provides a way for a paced and measured move-in into the skyscrapers. It will also offer a framework and guidelines to how to improve and complete the interior spaces. The implications of a long futures city is that the city is now endowed with a great architectural wealth, of which could be uptaken for completion and put to use at leisure by the city. The wealth thus generated by our efforts will guide the city into a positive future, when economic growth and business growth will be but one aspect of the development. With ample architectural space, the community will also grow in that many of its lesser known interests could find space for expression and occupancy, as well as find opportunity for representation.
3) My firm is now named: Helix. I have some sad news: my ability to transmit visions has been temporarily suppressed. But rest assured, I will look for another person to carry over this particular duty. In regards space for the guild, it is my understanding that in order to achieve a regular space, one must first attempt to make use of temporary spaces, such as a hall at the community center, in order to show that we have actual orderly business. Once we have demonstrated a need and requirement for a more permanent space, continuing communication with community members will support the achievement of such a space. It is important to demonstrate that we understand the implicit rules established in the community of Calgary. It is also important to note that not all must attend meetings; even a handful of representatives may be enough to demonstrate proper business.
4) The report to RCMP and the public addresses thus far the circumstances at the start of work; the process of negotiation, design, and build; pressure from groups local and foreign; probable response and related problems. It will address benefits endowed upon Calgary; requirements for us to be continually involved; ongoing problems; compensation; and more. Meanwhile, police communication has begun concerning the unusual pressures we had faced, yes; but also, trust and liaison with police is considered tantamount for future endeavors. The latter is where communication shall be found.
5) In regards the move to Saskatchewan, where we may yet build a fair number if not an excessive number of skyscrapers, I wonder if not a smooth transition could be found if we examine the possibility of moving in with a few smaller projects. This may be the most ideal situation because we are still with smaller projects here, as such news did reach me. If this is not palatable, I understand your concerns. I am attempting to see into the future and understand what is required of us to move in securely with good intent. Please send information to me as you find appropriate for no one person could be an all seeing eye at any given moment. The idea to move into Saskatchewan with a few modest projects to first garner community trust could help us find a stronger foothold with the province as it attempts to address our security concerns.
So when we have understood the circumstances in which we are, we know that establishing in Calgary after so many years of work is reasonable. A home base at a location to which we have contributed so much, at a location where we have increased the sum wealth so significantly, is reasonable to the utmost. As our interests continue to include the Canadians, we must review how we have progressed here, of what we have learned, and to what ends we wish to achieve for ourselves as well. This memo will end here, but a new Memo will be forwarded on November 1.
