Abstract: We generalize the concept of orbit-breaking from the case of a homeomorphism to the case of a surjective local homeomorphism. This method creates open subgroupoids of the Deaconu--Renualt groupoid associated to the surjective local homeomorphism. When the map satisfies natural assumptions (including being locally expanding) the resulting groupoid $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebras are unital UCT Kirchberg algebras. A specific class of Deaconu--Renault systems are constructed, each modelling the Cuntz algebra $\mathcal{O}_2$. The $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebras obtained from orbit-breaking for such systems come with explicit embeddings into $\mathcal{O}_2$. We also introduce a method for orbit-breaking after removing a fixed point. Using this method, we can realize all stable UCT Kirchberg algebras with each coming with an embeddings into $\mathcal O_2\otimes\mathcal K$. Moreover, we show that, given a homomorphism between countable graded abelian groups, there is a $^*$-homomorphism between orbit-breaking algebras obtained from a groupoid inclusion. In particular, we obtain explicit $^*$-homomorphisms between stable UCT Kirchberg algebras from any group homomorphism between their $K$-groups.
