80.91: I'm not at all suggesting that they can remotely interfere with her mind, a difficult proposition given that she's a neural net of human complexity, but rather that there is an interlock that can prevent her from controlling her own body, and maybe even a separate AI on board. Given that she's sentient, and her "father" has a filial bond with her, the Atlesian Military Special Projects Division probably wants to continue the soft touch, to keep her on-side, and activating this system for something as trivial as that would breed resentment. It's not as if she's broken containment or anything; testing has proceeded well enough that they trust her to roam about the city relatively freely. The soldiers who chased her down did so because she ran from them, not because they were searching for a rogue testbed. They had no idea why she ran, hence running from them was an anomalous thing which they want answers to. Besides, the timescale was short enough that there was plausibly not enough time to shut her down, and given that the soldiers had her in sight for most of the chase, there was no need. She was allowed to go to the dance, albeit under escort, suggesting that they just think she did something stupid, rather than being a flight risk.
