This one is actually a back-reference to Oni from a later game. Oni doesn't refer to Halo (unless you count the fan project [[AE:BGI]]), but [[wikipedia:Halo_(video_game_series)|Halo]] features an entity called [[wikipedia:Office_of_Naval_Intelligence_(Halo)|ONI]]. It stands for '''Office of Naval Intelligence'''. A military intelligence service called the Office of Naval Intelligence [[wikipedia:Office_of_Naval_Intelligence|actually exists]] in the real world: it's the oldest continuously operating intelligence service in the United States (in operation since 1882). It seems likely that Halo develops on that longevity and tries to imagine what influence today's ONI would have in the 2550s. | This one is actually a back-reference to Oni from a later game.
