User blog comment:Western Gen/Speculations for Season 13/@comment-75.105.189.72-20140930014605

Sorry to make you mad Wes, but there is a chance Maine is alive, and I have a few clues: 1. Charon has hired splintered UNSC forces since the Insurrection, and if my memory is correct, there was a police force on Sidewinder in the S8 finale. 2. Charon specializes in cryogenics, and if, and I mean IF, splinter UNSC forces found Maine on Sidewinder, they could have put him in cryo to be resuscitated later.

Just something I thought would work to build up the plot and speculation. Also, I feel your pain on Doc too, I was hoping he would come back for the finale.
