Very well. [ Childermass will hold a hand out to 9S as if expecting him to take it. Which, actually, he is. ] Hang onto your robot, will you?
[ Enjoy the life choice you just made, 9S. It's not the worst one out there but, provided he does as he's told, as soon as he has the android and the android has his faithful Pod, the magician will use the shadow of the table they're at to plunge all three into absolute darkness. Save for whatever light 9S and Pod give off, that is.
It'll feel very briefly like falling, then suddenly a surface to stand (or fall) on. ]
