AI (Artifical Intelligence) Query: Subscriptions, Argh, matrix rules! Options

[Aria]

In theory I understand subscriptions

To connect to a node (aside from the one on which your persona is
running), you must subscribe to it. A subscription is a two-way communications link through the Matrix. This is a steady link that can be maintained for extended periods of time. You must subscribe to a node if you want to “travel” to it in the Matrix, which means that you must be able to either connect with it directly (with a wired connection, or when within mutual Signal range) or by establishing a route through the Matrix network. Subscribing to a node is a Complex Action (Log On, p. 231). When you log on to a node, your icon appears there. You can have more than one subscription open at a time. Each persona is limited to a number of subscriptions equal to twice its System

But how does this work with AIs who are effectively an Agent?

I've got a home node (a drone) so can I be there but also have a subscription to a remote node and be aware of both nodes at once or do I 'physically' move through the matrix to the other node leaving my home node empty? The situation has arrisen because I'm being hacked at my home node whilst being in combat in the remote node...I think...

Any help appreciated!
