By downloading her personality, the ancient Dagny is able both to rest and to ensure that her guidance of Luna through its crisis continues. This is very close to the end of her mortal life yet is also another stage in her history. She has been everything and will be more.
While human Dagny discusses downloading with download Guthrie, she is seated in a form-fitting lounger, of which we have seen many, and he is carried in a four-armed, four-legged robot displaying a moving hologram of middle-aged Guthrie. We have come a long way with these characters and there is never an end.

Yes, but download Dagny Beynac differed in one significant way from her downloaded grandfather. She did not want to stay INDEFINITELY downloaded and had only done so from feeling compelled to guide the Moon thru its current crisis. Once that had been seen to its end Dagny's wish was for her downloaded computer file be ERASED.
