I know, but Maine is also addicted to power. If he's still alive, then he should increase his power in different ways instead of just taking AIs and equipment. If he wanted ultimate power, then an army of Prometheans would accomplish that. Also, he wouldn't have to solely let them do the work for him. He could fight his own battles, and he'd have back-up. Besides, Sigma's influence has left it's mark on him. This would seem like an option Sigma would take given that he wants metastability. If he could get more and even destroy the universe and rebuild it in his own image, he'd take it. And his directives and ambitions would've been ingrained in Maine's mind as the Meta.
