Exo sent out the text message as soon as the robot started to hack its computer suit, it then started to download its mind into the now contaminated Wi-Fi and in turn, into the AI connected to it. About one second later the message;
"Keep shooting, young grasshoppers. I've got this guy in a checkmate, just give me 5 minutes and I'll wipe his memory banks clean as Claymoor's dinner plate."
Arrived in everyone's inboxes at the same instant Exo finished its upload. From everyone's perspective but the AI's, Exo went inexplicably limp and collapsed to the floor.
However, what the AI saw was quite a bit different, because standing in the exact same position that Exo had been in before it collapsed was what looked like a digital ghost version of it. Which, was actually a pretty accurate comparison.
The digital Exo walked up to the AI, stopping about a foot away from it and tapping its finger on chin thoughtfully before asking rhetorically;
"Do you think this scene is kina boring? I do, its just a glorified concrete box, I mean sure its blast proof and all, but that's pretty much it. No sushi bar, no 20' by 20' chess board or exploding arcade games. I mean there's not even any poisoned candy! Or rock candy with actual rocks in it! Well anyway, I kinda like Portal 2, I've never played it, but I watched Myre and Electo play it once. How about this, I use my code to change what you see so it makes it look like a game of Portal 2 eh?"
With that, digital Exo faded in and out of existence for a few seconds before assimilating itself across the room from the bot and at the same time inlaying a partially transparent 3D image of a portal experiment chamber over the live video the robot was getting of what was actually going on. Mildly distracting to the bot, but not horribly so.
Exo looked up at the bot smugly before asking; "So, I can beat you in only one move and its currently my turn to make that move so tell my robot, how do you defeat me?"
