Brooks eventually challenged Karen's ability to run the company, calling a board meeting to vote upon whether she was still qualified enough to head Starrware.[1] However, in the 1990's, shortly before the IT-bubble burst, Karen sold the corporation, earning a vast fortune.[2]

In the early 21st century, after a long time soul-searching and discovering her real past, Karen committed much of her resources to buying back shares of the corporation that she once owned and reopening her old company.[3]
