There's a moment where Hickey frowns, debating what to say or how to say it. After the pause, he lands on, "We both know Tozer's been fine with the mutiny since day one. But after that attack, when that bear attacked the camp before I was about to be hung, he's been...rattled. Apparently he saw the bear suck someone's soul out."
Which honestly? Hickey believes. That thing obviously wasn't an ordinary bear. Tuunbaq, something that looks like a bear but thinks like a man. A vengeful god, taking it's anger out on all of them. Of course it could suck out a man's soul. Why wouldn't it?
"I don't know how he'd react to the Darkwalker," Hickey points out. "Considering everything related to that thing. He could be his normal self. He could be on our side. Or the moment he sees what that thing can do, the moment the Darkwalker claims another victim, he'd fall apart at the seams."
