[Dhaos remains silent. The thought of fusing man and machine holds no appeal to him. He was strange enough with a normal face, so to add a mechanical one? If a machine looks like a human yet is even the slightest bit off, people pick up on that quickly. And with the tendency for people to instinctively shy away from that which is not-quite right, he would be left alone again. Though he feels terribly selfish for it, he wants to remain near his friends for as long as he can.

Thus he says nothing, allowing them to latch onto anything that might help them get through this.]
