One thing I just realized a day or so ago is that this idea of Aura transfer is cast in a new light when you consider that Penny frequently refers to her creator as her "father" and he apparently views her as his daughter. There was this theory that Penny was created to fill the place of a daughter he had lost or because he never had a daughter, but what if she actually IS his daughter? Maybe his daughter was dying of some incurable disease so he devised a means to transfer her Aura into a powerful android body to protect her.

All of a sudden the Atlesian military learns about his actions, recognizes its utility in combat and offers to use his research while requisitioning Penny. He goes along with it due to the not-so-subtle threat of Penny being disassembled and thus really losing his daughter. Perhaps the transfer does not include memories or, as it was his presumably first attempt with a human, the process didn't work quite right. Even though Penny has some vague concept of her creator as her father, she doesn't realize the full truth of it.
