Man the people who believe he is alive and coming back to the show are such big dreamers. What do you do all day, watch pathetic animes? Western Gen already exahusted most of the arguements about Maine being dead, which he obviously is. But, I want to point out another one, and this ties in with the deaf people not paying attention to the Season 12 after-credit scene. Malcolm Hargrove got the Helmet for his trophy room, it says that. Quoting him: "FILSS, could you verify that Locus's delivery was sent to the trophy room?"

Ok, now, let's take a step back. The crate was on the UNSC ship that was carrying the Reds and Blues home, the ship crashed on Chorus, and Locus retrives the crate for Malcolm Hargrove. That means the UNSC has possession of Maine's body, does it not? The helmet is the one of the most important parts of the suit, since it has space for AI and stores all the data, like entry logs.And for all you horrible fanfic writers, the Meta would not leave his helmet just laying around. So no need to write how the Meta survived but lost his helmet or something, and comes back to haunt/hunt the Blood Gulch Crew. Or at least don't post that shit.

Oh, and just to disprove another bad fan theory, Alpha, nor any other Project Freelancer Ai that we have seen so far had any chance of survival. An EMP wipes out all the files, every single line of code. It's like permanently deleting something from your Trash Bin. That's it, you can never get it back(well, you could reinstall that wahtever, but you can't reinstall the AI because they are literally one-of-a-kind). With FILSS though, it's a different thing. She had a lot of copies of her made, like Shiela. We know Shiela the Tank's name was originally FILSS when Church goes back to the past in Season 3. So, she must be a copy. And we know that the FILSS copy in the Pelican in Valhalla is still alive, functioning at like 3%, but nevertheless, still alive. I'm not saying that Malcolm found that copy of her specifically, but maybe another one stored somewhere else and forgotten. But, if they did salvage her from the Pelican in Valhalla, and tried to repair her or something, it would explain her lifeless/tired/possibly corrupted voice.

Oh and BTW, yea the cast and crew of RvB never came out and publicly said Maineis dead, but they did say that Tex is, that she is never coming back to the show. She's been here for 10 Seasons, and they were great.

Alright, I think I debunked some people's hopes and theories, time to leave.
