I'm not so sure, i can see Penny wandering Vale as you said but isn't very close to the emergence point (seems fitting considering how the Grimm are getting in) and Ironwood gets his orders out before she encounters the Grimm and follows them. Alternatively, she's out and about on her own again hears about what is going on and gets involved until Ironwood calls her back. Either way, Ironwood pulls her out and i gurantee he will simply because she is a prototype; while there are probably schematics, Ironwood, and whoever made her, need Penny intact in order to figure out how to perfect the design, make more Aura Androids, and while they can do that with schematics and the data they have, any inventor will tell you its easier to improve upon a design if you have the previous version in front of you instead of in a thousand damaged pieces.
