A battlefield medic, Bean attained the rank of corporal in the war, and despite people constantly trying to kill him to death, his time in the war was good for him, siding with the Independents, fighting for folk to be free.

Duìzhǎng. Captain. His rank was probably the only reason he'd been allowed to walk away breathing.

If he ever ran into his old crew again they would demand an accounting, and Bean suspected the simple truth was not going to sit square in that reckoning.

He ever ran into that crew again, explanation would be demanded, and Bean suspected the simple truth was not going to sit square in that reckoning.
