It's been suggested that combat training programs such as this one, beta 6, are actually in a virtual space. No such technology is mentioned as being part of Oni's world of the future, but consider these points: | It's been suggested that combat training programs such as this one, beta 6, are actually in a virtual space.

#How did Konoko get into that first room? The training complex is an enclosed space. For a game that takes architecture so seriously, it's odd that leave out a door for entering the level. | #How did Konoko get into that first room? The training complex is an enclosed space.

So either (a) the Oni devs were really lazy when designing this level and didn't care about where people and weapons came from, (b) scientists have invented transporters by [[Quotes/Manual#PRE-MISSION_BRIEFING|2032]] and this is the only place we see them used, or (c) this is happening in Konoko's head via a cybernetic connection. As further evidence for the third option, see [http://oni.bungie.org/special/part3/hardy.html the interview with Hardy] where he mentions the concept of placing the training in a virtual dojo inspired by "The Matrix" (which had released earlier that year). | So either (a) the Oni devs were really lazy when designing this level and didn't care about where people and weapons came from, (b) scientists have invented transporters by [[Quotes/Manual#PRE-MISSION_BRIEFING|2032]] and this is the only place we see them used, or (c) this is happening in Konoko's head via a cybernetic connection.
