...Fuck, you mean if things had been different, Carolina would've gone Meta? [He only vaguely knows the Freelancers. Ostensibly it's because Tex told him about some of them and he may have run into some before they all fucked off and he got assigned to Sidewinder.

That's obviously not the case. The fact that he has some of the vague details right--like York and Carolina being partners (in a sense)--is perhaps a little alarming.]

Sigma sure didn't do any fucking communicating when the Meta was running around killing people. It was all grr, growl, and then getting shot in the face and getting cars thrown at you.
