This level was likely intended as Konoko's final confrontation with the shadowy [[BGI]], which was later excised from the story as Oni's development ran out of time. Fragments of a script for this level can be found in [[Big Blue Box|BBB]] Oni. The scripts contain two cutscenes, one of which describes Konoko setting a bomb and taking cover, and the resulting explosion, and the other cutscene introduces the [[Iron Demon]] that would end up getting cut from the game. The number of the level indicates that these events would take place before Konoko returns to the TCTF to confront Griffin and after meeting with Kerr in the Science Prison.

The four screenshots we have for the level are about as uninformative as possible, but it at least demonstrates that the level was once under development.
Below are the only four screenshots we have for the level. Similarities to the architecture in TCTF HQ have been noted, and were explained by Hardy LeBel:

[...] [A]ll of the levels in the game ultimately ended up being composites of architectural details that were stripped from various other pieces that the architects had made. The screenshots that you have of BGI were part of [an earlier, unused] building, as were a lot of the pieces of TCTF HQ.}}
