I have my own view of this and I discussed it some time or other but it was way back and I’m too lazy to find it SO
(Oh god this got long so I’m cutting it. Caveat also: this is headcanon. Albeit headcanon based on direct observations of Shit That Went Down during 9/10, and attempts to reconcile pieces of it with prior canon. But headcanon. Your mileage may vary, etc.)
The idea that in the end he didn’t want a team makes sense. I mean, this all makes sense. There’s definitely a reason the 2IC of Project Freelancer was a psychologist. (Also, I guess you could figure the clue is in the name.)
He may not have realized that CT would defect at the beginning, because presumably the early stages of the Project included building up those profiles. So she might have already been working on that before they realized what their math was adding up to. But clearly, toward the end they caught up with her.
Did the Director lose it toward the end, though? Did he get obsessed with Tex over the success of the Project? Because crap like giving Carolina two AI fragments, while they were still in the process of understanding what AI fragments and humans would do when introduced to each other, just seems reckless. Then again, with the war going the way it was, Tex didn’t have to be the only pressure the Director was feeling to speed things up and push limits.
So was Epsilon the game changer because it was the point at which the Director realized he had a massive blind spot in his understanding of the Project? That he’d been assuming too much about the fragments just because they came from a copy of him? Is that why they decided to pull everything at that point?
