I just assumed he already had the rest of the suit when I saw it, though now that you mention it, Miles did throw us for a loop. From what was revealed, we only wondered "What the hell can he do with just the helmet?" It'd sure be nice to know he already had the rest of the fucking armor.

Also, this pretty much officially confirms (god-fucking-finally) that Maine is indeed dead*, though I'm not sure if this scenario is any better. Obviously, Locus/Felix aren't going to finish their job, and so they'll have to hold elections for Meta 2.0. But they literally told us his only job and the only reason to put on this suit in the first place is for one purpose: to kill Chorus. Which, is basically the same thing as what the Meta already did; mindlessly kill everything. I can see Sharkface doing it, since he's also a mindless animal with no purpose in this show. Anyone donning this suit of armor will basically become the new Meta, with the same shitty motivation as the old one. Actually, even less of a motivation, since they'd just be doing this because someone told them to. At least Maine was driven by his own thoughts.

However, I am intrigued by the prospect of a new AI, and at it not being a Freelancer one. That may be Meta 2.0's saving grace, as the AI and him will have to go hand in hand. This AI will likely determine how these Meta 2.0 events will play out, if (when) they come to pass.

Also, I hear you used to be an anon but decided to get an account. Thank you for not being one of the brainless masses. You're pretty cool.

* They had to pull the damn armor (except the chest I dunno what the hell the deal with that is) off his rotting corpse, as there is literally no other place it could have came from. If they have the armor, they have the body (shit, Chairman probably has that somewhere too). He's dead, I don't want to hear a single comment even try and say otherwise. That 0% chance he lived just dropped to -9000%.
