I don't think the Aura transfer stuff mentioned by Ironwood was a coincidence. Penny being able to generate an Aura means she most likely has an actual Aura from someone. There are many who thought Penny was a replacement for a daughter her "father" lost, but the Aura transfer technology created another explanation. As I suggested once before, it could mean that Penny actually is his daughter, or at least her Aura belonged to his daughter. One can imagine Penny's father having had a daughter who was dying from some horrific illness or something to that effect, and created a new robot body for her and transfered the Aura. She may not be remember him because something went wrong with the transfer.
