->Then she added, "You know, [[ArtificialHuman you]] can stay here in the crew area if you want. Would you like that?"\\
They all looked at me, most of them smiling. One disadvantage in wearing [[TwentyFourHourArmor the armor]] is that I get used to [[FacelessGoons opaquing the faceplate]].

She was almost pathologically unable to make eye contact, and she had a way of hiding her face behind her hair that made it clear how agonizing it was for her to be the object of human attention.
