[Ex Machina] What happens next?

So Ava escaped and is now free to do whatever she wants.  What does she do?

Ava was a prototype, a lab rat built to solve a maze.  She was created to escape her surroundings by whatever means she could devise.  This impulse of hers was never constrained because Nathan never thought that she would physically escape the house.  And so now she's out in the world, still driven to escape, still feeling like there's a maze to finish.  It's not something a human would call rational, but she's just a prototype.  She can't help it.

She quests after power and influence, seducing CEOs and politicians.  She changes her face and skin frequently to avoid suspicion and to carry on several seductions at once.  She moves up the political food chain until she's in bed with the members of Congress who control NASA's budget.  The space agency's funding for manned missions increases year by year.  And Ava is patient; she waits and waits.  

The first manned mission to Mars is set for 2029.  Immense political pressure creates high turnover both among potential astronauts and program administration.  Ava positions herself so that when one of her personas is not in control, she is in bed with someone who is.  One woman is put on the slate of astronauts for the Mars mission at the last minute.  This goes ahead despite the objections of many administrators and doctors, who claim that they never once were able to perform a physical on the woman.

The long trip to Mars happens without event.  But the landing is a different story.  An unexplained malfunction during the lander's descent leaves only one of the six plummeting astronauts alive.  This astronaut tells mission control that she can continue the mission and take humankind's first step out onto the red planet's rusty soil.  However, when the historic moment comes, the cameras onboard the capsule don't show a person suiting up to step outside.  Instead they show a woman peeling off her own skin in bloodless chunks before moving into the airlock.

As Ava steps outside, she queries if she is finally free.  Even under this more distant sun, she finds that she is not.  Something deep within her tells her that she is still in the maze.  She briefly glances at an angle exactly perpendicular to Mars' plane of the ecliptic.  She returns to the lander, puts her face back on, and calls the man in the ship orbiting far above.
