I bet she'll have problems being funded for repairs after this and her projects budget will likely become drastically reduced, so it could still be a struggle for her to receive repairs. I still go by my bet of the Vacuo students finding her and honouring Vacuo's scavengers reputation to rebuild her with broken AKs pieces.

As for Ironwood, he didn't strike as too much in control of himself... Like, he was surounded by his students and just run to the control tower. He could have ordered the students to assist the evacuation or aknowledge them in some form. To be fair, he went there to tell people to calm down.

Remember Ironwood is a leader and military based. He has to keep composure, or what are his students and soldiers supposed to think? Plus, Penny is a synthetic being. To him, she may not even be human. Hence his more angry expression than worried. Penny could just be a million dollar project that just went down the drain. The only time he was concerned was when trying to explain Penny to Ozpin. He was worried Ozpin was going to lose faith in him. However, when Ozpin showed his trust, he was perfectly fine.
