Doctor Light squeezed the arm of his chair pretty strongly, but not nearly enough for a man who's just lost his daughter. Assuming Mass Effect style requirements for a smart AI, her main shell may have shut down but they can still retrieve her quantum blue box (or equivalent) and put it in a new chasis.

Also, i definitely saw synthetic muscle and nerve fibers in that arm.

Please be right. please be right, please be right! I think it'd be really unfortunate if we never see her again. Penny was a pretty popular supporting character. I'm sure they'll be able to rebuild her again.

Theory: Maybe they'll wipe her memory and then Ruby will be like "Penny! You're alive!" and she'll be like "Salutations! I do not know who you are!" and then it'll all be sad and messed up.

Or it could get even darker than that. Cinder assumes control of her and Penny starts going crazy.

Let's hope not.
