Who would've thought Add could actually grow a little sometimes? Although, it would probably be more helpful if he grew out of his tendency to constantly stick his nose into trouble, but that might be asking for too much.
For some reason it feels a little embarrassing to have Jakob agree with him on this, but he's just going to try not to think about it. They're on the same page, that's good. As for making Add out to be the heroβ "Ugh, that's way too cheesy. As if I'd do something like that. Why don't we just take the middle road and say I stopped it because I wanted to study it? That's not so far from the truth."
Even if it is inherently suspicious that this is obviously a machine from Add's homeworld, and that someone probably saw it crashed on their temple grounds before it went on its rampage. But surely no one would use that as a way to get Add in trouble, right?
"... Hmm. Since a lot of the old gods already have a poor impression of me, it would be too easy for someone to come up with a different story that's more believable than our own. If that happens, it won't matter how solid our alibi is since it'll still be our word against theirs. We need something extra to prove we wouldn't have caused this on purpose..."
He's really, seriously thinking about faking his death again... but maybe they can still get away with it without going too far. They don't have to be dead to garner sympathy. And Add is still quicker to put himself back together than Jakob, so obviouslyβ
"You're going to need to carry me out. Just act naturally and follow my lead." Good thing it's so dark in here, all Jakob will be able to see is a flutter of sparkling fragments as Add willingly disintegrates a couple limbs. No big deal. He reaches out for Jakob's arm, ready to teleport them both out at a moment's notice.
