It doesn't say so, because it - Jack will see. It takes longer than usual for SecUnit to show up, and that's entirely because of these new changes, as it picks a time when most of the humans will be away from this part of the Convoy, and scans for them on its way through.
It doesn't want to be stared at, and these changes are exactly the kind of thing humans will stare-at-without-staring, which is the worst kind. So it even takes a few moments to steel itself before walking into the piecemeal stalls. Jack's not bad as far as humans(?) go, so that kind of makes anticipating his reaction worse.
The moment SecUnit steps into view, it's obvious the Moon Warp has gotten to it - usually its face is the most human-looking part of it, but now its mouth and jaw are - changed. The skin has gone gray and chitinous, inflexible and platelike, and framed by four small segmented mandibles, currently folded flat against its cheeks and jaw.]
