Maybe Sarge himself is a fragment...

Mah lousy evidence:

1. The Director had a thick Southern accent. Alpha does not have a Southern accent. Sarge definitely has a thick Southern accent. It was more similar to the Director's in Season 1 though. :D

2. Look at this conversation in Season 3, Episode 41: Let's Get Together- (Source: http://roostertooths.com/transcripts.php?eid=56 )

According to Tex, every Freelancer was paired with an A.I. (We definitely know that Wash and South never got one, but who's saying that nobody got an A.I. before what was shown?)

This probably included Butch Flowers, or "Agent Florida." Flowers is shown very few times during the Blood Gulch Chronicles and Project Freelancer. But we do know that he was chosen to watch over the Alpha in Blood Gulch. Perhaps he had an A.I. as well, and it would be odd if the leader of Blue Team had an A.I. following him around. Thus they would need to force a memory wipe on it and then make everyone else forget about Florida. (Also Sarge being a competent ODST sounds like total BS.)

3. During his torture, the Alpha stripped off parts of his personality to cope with the pain. He most likely stripped off the least important things first, such as an accent. (I highly doubt it was just an accent, perhaps it was stubborn-ness, incompetence, or extreme engineering skills.)

4. Sarge was shot in the head. He woke up in Spirit-Land, where all the dead people went. Oh by the way, the only other people there were A.I.s. Then somehow, Grif manages to revive Sarge from a bullet to the head by using CPR. I really hope CPR isn't what brought him back, and maybe it was Church unknowingly doing a system restore or something. (I know it sounds dumb.)

5. The dreaded EMP blast. Um... I have no excuse for this. But since we know that all of the Meta's equipment and Armor Abilities worked after the EMP, maybe Sarge... did...?

6. I'm running out of ideas.

That's it. It's fun to think of random theories on the spot though. Another topic: Who killed Butch Flowers in Season 5?
