Maine, the most mentally unstable member of the freelancers is in fact dead, he may have survived some crazy shit but remember, all those things he survived was due to expert medical care, sheer force of will and, above all his ARMOR. Its obvious that they put everything they had in the construction of Maine's armor because it barely seems damaged after several minigun rounds to the legs and chest, explosions and stabbings. Furthermore, his fighting 'style' if you can call it that was to take everything the enemy could throw at him then counter attack, a stark contrast to that of most other soldiers seen in the series who actually try to take cover in combat. For comparison, a fellow freelancer North, took four of a similar make of minigun bullets to the chest and was immediately downed when his armor failed. Even without A.I. this armor could prove extremely valuable in construction of new armor and, Charon ind. being a weapons manufacturer is right in wanting to advance its own interests by reverse engineering the freelancer armor to make better armor for their own uses.
