Karl's been a bit busy too, with life and helping Kitten deal with stuff.
But she says if Karl agrees she gives anyone free reign over her idea, and says you can restart everything under new leadership. She also explained that if you want to change it in any way, shape, or form she's fine with that too. 

All the information you need from what she told me is what she gave you, even if it was individually through questions. 
All I can say is good luck, but it's up to Karl and whether he himself is up to continuing.
