The requirement that you be hooked up to the network is interesting. Does it track where you are down to a room to room basis, or does it just know you're on this floor somewhere?
Do you have a transponder or some dedicated part that deals with that, or is it just a routine that your general systems handle?
Androids obviously can be hacked (since you just were) and I highly doubt you're the first ever to be hacked, so that implies that the public authorities have incentive to keep these vulnerabilities quiet. The police or whatever crime unit deals with cybernetic-involved crimes will want to wrap it up as fast as possible and in a way that doesn't embarrass their political patrons (be it the mayor, the mayor's campaign contributors, or the chief of police's friends). Since it sounds like the standard procedure here is to reprogram or scrap 'malfunctioning' androids, you're effectively dead if you trust or cooperate with the public authorities.
The client was hiding his identity, and being killed like this represents a major failure on the part of his private security team. They'll be suspects #1 if the public authorities learn of this and want to look deeper than blaming this on a malfunctioning android. They have every incentive to both prove there was an attacker that hacked you, and that the exploit used was a zero-day that no one knew about. They'll want to figure out what happened, and that probably means fucking around in your systems.
That's risky for you, but it does mean they'll have to keep you intact while they do their own investigation. That'll be "Plan B" if running isn't possible.
If you can get off the network, somehow, that'll be the first step to running. You can adjust your looks, so getting out of the hotel is as 'simple' as changing your appearance, stealing a room service uniform or clothes from another hotel patron's room, and walking out. Still not particularly easy, but possible. If you can get off the network.
