The Los Alamos Network survived the Second Great Depression thanks to their creations. Especially the AI who woke up and made it her mission to protect her creators at all costs. Kitty administered the network and left the scientists to conduct the research and science they loved so much without the nasty meddling of government or enterprise types. She turned Los Alamos into a giant enterprise of its own that licensed out its various technologies to those who wanted them. Most of her scientists would not have approved such a mercurial move, but what they did not know would not hurt their tender feelings. The money she made via licensing fees allowed her to bring in every resource they required to remain healthy and happy. She recruited more scientific talent with promises of total freedom of research and effectively unlimited budgets, and the discoveries they made helped drag humanity into the solar system, and then to the stars. She continues to administer every Los Alamos Network facility throughout the stars to this day, protecting her scientists everywhere they go. And those who seek to harm her scientists are themselves marked with the undying and unsleeping wrath of Kitty.
