Targets: Sergeant "Misery-guts" Niner

[mamuzzy]

 Niner waited, all mild, deceptive patience. Fi had decided on first meeting him that he was a misery-guts, but now he found him solid and reassuring, just the way a sergeant ought to be. “Let’s be clear what we’re trained to do, gentleman. We go in and extract hostages by any means necessary. We don’t ask for ID. We don’t take targets alive. We don’t avoid damaging the furniture. When you send us in, there is no happy ending.” He paused as if waiting to see if the reality of the request had sunk in. “So we’ll just wander around and rig the interrupts to the power and light, and you call us when you’re ready to roll.” 

Niner being badass, but Fi's description of him just sending me to orbit. I really love their dynamics so much. Niner spends his free-time being annoyed at Fi and Fi is annoyed that Niner is so stick-in-the-ass all the time, but at the end of the day, Niner is a reliable Ori'vod sergeant they can all trust.

Love your addition here, ith and your description of Niner. Niner and Fi indeed started rough, and seeing the development is just really beautiful! Here in Targets they are all indeed felt like a team who had a chance to get to know each other, get used to each other and each of their quirks.

"Double-asses" :DDDD Love this.
