Uhm, you seem to have missed who I was referring to. I'm not referring to Gryphon in the story. I was referring to the author whose vision had managed to spark off this whole debate. In the story, I agree with you. For that matter, I at least don't have any idea who Cianbro is except for building the Sphere and associated paraphenalia.

*Googles*

Well, I'm going to guess that this was a reference to the modern Cianbro Corporation which is a construction firm. Still, given the tech involved, Lord F is a pretty likely backer for the whole thing... and technology is nothing without vision which, admittedly, Lord F cannot be said to have lacked.
