''Pyrrha Nikos died? Oh well. Have Penny. My army's greatest creation and someone I'm totally willing to give to a person I don't trust *cough*Ozpin*cough so that she can be placed on a team even though she has nothing to learn from studying. She's totally not an android that can be upgraded through a laboratory rather than a classroom.'' didn't you read my post? my entire theory predicates that both:
 * Ironwood falls from grace after a similar(most likely worse) incident than breach
 * &/or Penny is hacked, causing massive damage that is only stopped after she is saved by RWBY, after she is unveiled. Possibly saved by an internal overriding free will that frees her from control, validating her existence as a sentient being and invalidating Ironwoods controlling rights as far as the world is concerned, at which point Ozpin makes her a student, no longer beholden to Atlas.
