Getting tired here so my mind is slowing down but what you're saying makes sense. If the comm is down, no orders except through courier or direct contact and if it is on then yeah, she might just disobey Ironwood to help Ruby (no guarantee on the rest of the team but definantly with Ruby). There is one problem; Penny is a machine. A very gifted and apparantly self aware machine that seems more human than some people, but still, a machine. More specifically, a machine built to fight and kill Grimm, a machine built for war. Now i don't know about you, but i would make any AI i built for such purposes highly intelligent and give it a degree of free will so it can be highly effective and be able to improvise if needed but i would also make sure that it would obey orders from its superiors. If Penny's maker had pretty much total input in her creation, than it all depends on what he is like, what he was trying to make, what his focus was, and that could mean she has complete control over herself with no outside input she doesn't allow. But is Ironwood was involved, he wants weapons to use against the enemy, and total free will would not be the highest priority, victory would be.
