DARMAN TOSSED NINER OUT OF THE FALLING SHIP.
And I just savour the image that Niner yelled Skirata-typical mando swearings at Darman. But also... Why people are saying Darman is boring? Darman is a MENACE. By military standards. This is their first mission together and Darman already disobeyed Niner's order (bro has to reconfigure that pecking order now in his head... LMAO PECKING ORDER!!!! BIRDS!!!! :DDDD), and pushed him out off the ship mid-air so he can save the cargo. Darman is everything but boring.
But this another quote about I find interesting. He saved the weapons but left the R5 in the ship.
(and with this entry I finished chapter 3!!!! WOHOOOO! No fandom rant this time, I'm too tired. :D)
Darman stood back to make way for Niner: he wanted to salvage as much gear as he could. They needed the repeating blasters. He grabbed some of the dismantled sections.
“Now,” Niner said. “You first.”
“We need the gear.” Darman thrust two sections at him. “Take these. I’ll—”
“I said jump.”
Darman wasn’t a rash man. None of them were. They took calculated risks, though, and he calculated that Niner wouldn’t leave him. His sergeant was standing at the open hatch, arm held out imperiously, a clear sign to get on with it and jump. No, Darman had made up his mind. He lunged forward and shoulder-charged Niner out of the hatch, grabbing the door frame just in time to stop from plunging after him. It was clear from the stream of expletives that Niner was not expecting this, nor was he happy about it. The extra pack jerked out after him on its tether. Darman heard one last profanity and then Niner was out of range.

Darman realized he had thought nothing of leaving the R5 on board the stricken utility. It was expendable.
And that was how he was seen, he supposed. It was surprisingly easy to think that way.

I think this is a good example of unchallenged mindsets. Darman thinks he is expandable and he thinks the same about everyone else who is in the service of the Republic. How fucked up is that? (and with this entry I finished chapter 3!!!! WOHOOOO! No fandom rant this time, I'm too tired. :D)
