To my knowledge, nuclear reactor controls are on isolated hardwired networks, or function on a largely mechanical basis (not that I have much knowledge of such things).

My guess? Roman will manage to install a virus into Penny while she is "sleeping" that will give Cinder control over the girlbot, but will ... let's say stifle her abilities and Aura/emotions. Her antivirus program would fight it, but eventually it'll be her personal willpower that overcomes the virus, because Heart Is An Awesome Power or somesuch, and Penny would surely never hurt her friends. ;D

Of course, in MY version of it, Penny would not regain control until after she nearly kills Ruby, and after Pyrrha literally tears her apart. But that's the dark, mature version of my predicted events, in which people actually bleed and die, including several tens of people dying ot the Grimm in Breach, and the robots were actually necessary due to the massive numbers of Grimm and the relatively tiney number of available competent protectors on hand beyond the hunters-in-training. Unfortunately, that's just my headcanon.
