More than that. He wouldn't have known this if not for his new injuries.
And this scared him.
His body was being replaced block by block by something he didn't even understand.
And by scanning other parts of his body with microscopic eyes, he saw the same situation unfolding in other parts as well.
Which meant only one thing for him.
"I need to send the information."
There was only one method left for him, it was to use his native nanites to build a drone before he completely loses his sense of self.
No one can ever imagine the horror he was feeling at the moment.
Having one's body replaced by things he couldn't even comprehend bit by bit.
And even after he tried his hardest to fight back. Nothing will happen. It was as if those microorganisms never even existed in the first place.
So he chose the self-destructive option in the end.
It was dangerous for someone as injured as him to lose his nanites.
