It's cool, no harm done. FN-2199 had his backstory fleshed out in the Before the Awakening Novel, a collection of tales that predate episode 7, but grow it's world a bit. He's one of Finn's squad mates along with Slips & Zero. Slips is the trooper who smears blood on Finn's helmet at the films start. Nines feels betrayed that Finn, who for all intents & purposes was their team leader, turned his back on all of them.

Finn possibly recognizing Nines may be why he couldn't quite take him down in the film. But it still begs the question why he didn't react more to Nines' death after that. But yeah the novel helps explore their dynamic and set up that eventual confrontation at Maz's castle.

Wow...

Thanks for explaining that for me!

Didn't know all of this. Now I too, want some SHF FO Stormtroopers.
