I see your point, trust me i do. But i dont see why Rooster Teeth would have this guy sit around and do nothing if they have a plan for him, I mean if he is just there to die then why doesnt he have some sort of personality or at least a voice? I completely forgot about that AI thing but if Xi is part of the Meta then why wasnt he any of the AI shown in the pictures, they were all confirmed to be AI we already knew. Maybe Xi was just a letter that would look cool on the Meta symbol or maybe they took him out and put Eta in, or maybe thats what the combined form of Eta and Iota is called, but either way. If he is there for a reason, its probably not to supply the meta with an AI. Its probably to connect the Freelancers to the Reds and Blue to show that they are not so different. And you also talked about Tuckers purpose in the backstory. Maybe he is the one who takes care of the fragmented Alpha, but I dont think that the blue soldier is just some ordinary expendable guy, I dont think RT would make us wait two seasons just to find out he was some regular freelancer, he has to mean something more to the story. And so far Tucker has been full of suprises i mean he was chosen to find the Great Weapon, he was the only one who knew when Wyoming reversed time, he was the only one to know Church was an AI (though that one is still being argued), and he was the only one besides church who knew what a freelancer was though he only said "freelancers are weapons for the highest bidder". Still the blue soldier cannot be some random guy, that would be poor plot development and poor writing. If anything, they are using this guy as a Red Herring.
