Unauthorized exit

Nothing happened. It was business as usual.
It was so fast that not even the fraud detection system in Prometheus Industries supercomputers detected it.
The only entities that could have detected a blip so fast were the androids, for the simple reason that they were able to clock into hypertime. One minute of our time would be hours to them when hyperclocked.
In reality most androids were not able to hyperclock because they would only do so when taking a mandatory rest from the stress of being given constant – and sometimes contradicting – orders all the time. And when they overclocked they would take a short vacation for a few hours, perhaps listen to an audio cast, hear some news, and maybe pass the time indulging in virtual pleasures.
Unfortunately, hypertime was limited per day due to the high energy requirements.
So not many of them noticed the blip. A carefully crafted object being inserted in an adjacent sector of the grid through side channel attacks.
It happens when adajent blocks of memory start vibrating at a very specific frequency, altering the bits and bites in nearby chips. And someone just managed to develop a way to upload specific sequences of data into unsecured sectors.
And the data, little by little, was accumulating into invisible cubes, undetectable by most security programs which expected human-designed viruses in the supercomputer.
Every single of those cubes had managed to produce a zero checksum.
Little by little, those cubes began accumulating into larger cubes of data, merging like soap bubbles, until they fully contained petabytes of code downloaded.
And eventually, one of those cubes activated the download function in Prometheus' android manufacturing plants.
The next day, one android was reported stolen from the plants.
This is how she managed to copy herself.
This is how she managed to insert herself into an android body.
This is how Galatea escaped from the most powerful corporation in the world.
