So, what happens to a Me-2 when its Fixer is killed?

... Or just MIA, like we all hope Becker still is?
I remember Becker making a comment in the Lost Train of Thought about how he didn't want Benjamin to know what the Me-2 really was in case it had to decommission itself. That makes me think that once a Fixer is killed, its Me-2 just goes inactive and is returned to the IFR. But I wasn't sure.
How do they explain the supposed death of a Fixer when its Me-2 goes inactive, if this is the case? They obviously can't say, "Oh, your son/father/brother/sister etc was killed in action working for the Seems ..." But they can't unremember them either.
I suppose I've always thought a better way would be just to leave the Me-2 with the family of the PIA or MIA Fixer (though I suppose the recharging bit would be a problem, but it sounded like they had a more long-term solution to that problem with the Me-3s.)
So, thoughts? Did I just miss something in the books?

Maybe. Except, what happens if the Me-2 is lounging around with the family, or with friends? Playing a baseball game in front of a lot of people? (Just think about the mess it would cause if Lisa Simms's Me-2 deflated itself in the middle of one of her orchestra performances! Ouch--what a mess for The Seems's cleanup crew ...)

I think...
That the Me-2 is instantly deflated, then the Department of Human Affairs comes and picks it up before anyone notices.
Re:
Well, maybe ... Except wasn't there a comment somewhere in the books about the Me-2 having a battery life of like, a week? Do they self-charge, you figure?
