Indy good afternoon to you from Amman,
Thanks for your reply, it is just that we seem to be living on two different planets. Are we looking at the same company with objectivity and memories of our past expectations based on the people we claim we know well and are able to work with. Specifically I am referring here to your long standing relationship with Drew. You have praised him a lot in the past and credited him with vision, skills and capacity to deliver.
Your reply talks about Trident and present links with WSGI. That is not the point at all, we have a past history of your expert statements and involvement with WSGI that have come to nothing. I am just trying to follow-up here, not spinning a new take of contacts and possible future developments. If the past developments have come to nothing, how can you have new credible developments?
Tell me where I come from and I will tell you where I am going.
I was and remain interested in your take as a shareholder and past consultant to the Argus development project (Do you remember when you were posting about your involvement in the Argus?
I posted last February, quoting you on Drew's presentation and future intentions. There has been no follow-up on that to date. Could you please be so kind to re-read my message below and give this board an update where you think the company is today on those intended Argus plans and statements?
One of the options might as well be: "That you have no information on the Argus and that your friend Drew has not delivered as planned".
Full stop, what a bit of fresh air coming from the same planet that would be!
Thanks in advance and best as ever

Indy,
thanks for your reply, indeed coherent and in line with my wildest dreams.
But as Cole mentions when you talk of "a coherent strategy that includes stratospheric airship development would be articulated..." unfortunately besides the re-alignment in assets, governance and staff for everybody to see, in terms of a company coherent strategy based on the Argus technology and anything stratospheric there is nothing, zero, zilch to hang on.
This is from your summary from the last SHM:

..............
The business case for the Argus One airship has again risen to the forefront as the market searches for technology that will link all parts of the world to the Internet and how that next step in connectivity will change lives around the world. The same can be said for the company’s work horse- GTC. GTC’s opportunities will continue to grow as we place more resources on marketing and sales channels within the US.
and more..............
3. Rapid development of our airship division
On July 8 we completed a written comprehensive business case and technology analysis for our airship division. In that business case it became clear that the best use of our Argus One prototype is to continue to refine the middle altitude capabilities of the Argus and continue to seek military and commercial partners in the United States and abroad through marketing partners such as Trident and EWA Government Systems.
As a secondary priority, we will attempt to develop it for stratospheric operations with a Google-Loon size miniaturized communications payload. In the decade since Sanswire attempted to execute a high altitude airship technology other vendors such as Google have miniaturized effective payload size substantially. We expect to approach developers of such Commercial Off-The Shelf miniaturized payloads seeking cooperation in testing them upon an adapted version of the Argus.
We have a growing team of strong partners, we have determination and a clear plan so it is time to execute our plans regarding the Argus One. Like the moonshot, it will have key milestones along the way and we will keep you informed." ditto.
Guess the last bit from the horse's mouth, I mean "ton cher ami" Mr Drew "Like the moonshot, it will have key milestones along the way and we will keep you informed." Would translate in French as "c'est de la pure demagogie"
Bien a toi, amicalement ton monty
PS: And by the way when Drew says "We have a growing team of strong partners" I as a shareholder am still waiting to be introduced.
