== It was an [[Esoteric Happy Ending]]. ==
Hathaway's weapon ''worked''. Blowing up Hathaway's house still proved that it worked; and it's shown that the CIA knew it was a problem with targeting; not the laser function. Chris had given the schematics (the dynamite laser) to Hathaway before he decided against it. Even if the original [[Kill Sat]] was destroyed after destroying Hathaway's house due to the reflected laser; Hathaway and his military contacts would have made copies of this information. The kids notifying the Dean and a Congressman simply meant that there was evidence that ''they'' were working against National Security. The CIA got other [[Kill Sat|Kill Sats]] created; and the kids got expelled and/or arrested.
** Also, the only thing the Congressman had been told was that he was needed for a discussion on something of 'critical international importance', and that the evidence was at Hathaway's house. Since that statement is literally true - the dynamite laser is such a matter, and the evidence of its existence is indeed inside Hathaway's house in the form of Hathaway's lab notes and paperwork - there is plausible deniability on the part of whatever mysterious parties decoyed the Congressman there that they had any foreknowledge of an incoming laser beam.
== It was a straightforward [[Happy Ending]]. ==
