Cortana decides to laugh rather than be offended. "Don't worry about us, Agent Connecticut. We're bunkered down, and if something trips the perimeter, I can be back before she even realizes I was gone."

What Cortana actually plans to do is dub off and then reintegrate a copy of herself, but she keeps that ability on the down-low as a rule. The implications tend to make people nervous.

"I can slap a patch over your existing systems if you don't want to do a full reboot. Not as good, but no downtime." She can see advantages to either, so what follows is the verbal equivalent of a shrug. "Up to you."
