If you want to, sure. The Pupa's voice is pretty loud, I guess. That might wake him.

Oh yea two other forms of Mavericks
Free-will Mavericks
Some reploids are labeled Mavericks, because they have consciously decided, without any infection or flaw in their Suffering Circuits to go against the will of the humans. These are usually criminals, mercenaries or rebels who act against the government. Such free-willed Mavericks usually act more rationally than viral Mavericks.
A example of free-will Mavericks would be all of the new generation Reploids which came after Axl's creation. As Lumine reveals in Mega Man X8, they can go Maverick at will, because their copy chip contains Sigma's DNA and thus his way of thinking along with his philosophy of evolution - though technically, all Reploids in existence can potentially become free-willed Mavericks due to their ability to determine right and wrong for themselves, so new-generation Reploids are not the exception. Other examples include Vile, Shadow and the more extreme example of Colonel Redips, all ex-Maverick Hunters that turned evil to become more powerful - though Vile is questionable, as the reason behind his turn is an unrepairable break in his programming, like it was with the first mavericks, which were caused without any virus.
Another notable example of a free-will Maverick would be Boomer Kuwanger in Maverick Hunter X for the Playstation Portable. The game manual states that Kuwanger sided with Sigma after looking over the facts rationally.
Political Mavericks
Not all Mavericks try to harm humans or the government. Because the distinction of who is or is not Maverick is decided by the Maverick Hunters, sometimes a group will be unjustly called Maverick for political reasons or misunderstandings, such in Mega Man X4.
Most notably, this happened with the Repliforce, a Reploid army which was crushed by the Hunters. After realizing the mistake, the leader and commissioner of the Maverick Hunters (a reploid reminiscient of the Repliforce General, along with the same whiskers) resigned out of shame, appointing Signas in his place. The Red Alert is also another example, though they have been manipulated by Sigma.
The "Liberion Rebellion" led by Epsilon in Mega Man X: Command Mission is another prime example, as Epsilon only wanted to create a place where Reploids could live free of world politics, but his plan to induce Reploid evolution through Supra-Force Metal, not to mention some of his Cadre's questionable tactics, was interpreted as Maverick activity by the authorities. However, after learning of Epsilon's true motives as well as the betrayal of the Far East HQ Hunter Commander, Colonel Redips (who, having somehow deduced himself as the destined ruler of all Reploids, is a perfect example of a free-will Maverick himself), the authorities chose to defer the "Maverick" status from Epsilon, although the Hunters had already destroyed him by that time.
Yet another excellent example would be the Resistance in the Mega Man Zero series; these Reploids do not seek to harm humanity in any way (with the notable exception of Elpizo, another classic example of a free-will Maverick), not to mention the fact that this organization is actually led by the human pacifist Ciel, but are designated as Mavericks due to their defiance of the Neo Arcadian regime and its constant "retiring" of reploids falsely accused of becoming Mavericks.

Alright, i dunno what time it is for you guys, but it's gettin pretty freakin late for me. I know Neo lives here in florida (thank your brother) so I'm surprised you lasted this long.
Speakin of which, I remember when I didn't sleep for the whole day. What was I doing? Waiting for inuyasha to play. It goes on at six in the morning. By the time it was over, the sun had shown itself.
So anyways, I'll be the first one off. Night yall.

4:55 here.
Sometimes when you're driving down a road, a bug hits your windshield. It's ugly and unpleasant, but you just activate the wipers / cleaning fluid and it's gone in a few seconds. It's just part of driving down the road. You don't dwell on it, because that'd be silly. Bugs aren't worth the time.
You just discard their guts and keep on driving.
