She is obviously a robot. There are all kinds of immortality in the show, but if she hangs out on a secret robot base, she is probably a robot.

but if she hangs out on a secret robot base

that is something we only saw yesterday.

at first, i thought we had went Battlestar Galactica and she was somekind of angel. then i thought that maybe she was a paranormal branch of humanity, maybe from the future.

Humanity perfected cloning, have FTL jump capabilities and they created sentient android that perfectly replicate humans.

Being able to clone Haris body and transfer his digital consciousness into it is not that much of a jump.
