This level, which would have been level7_Final, represents the gap between the end of the airport levels and the first TCTF HQ level. Since Bungie blanked the name of this level, we can only speculate on this level and the unnamed levels 15 and 17 (for 16, see | This level, which would have been level7_Final, represents the gap between the end of the airport levels and the first TCTF HQ level. Since Bungie blanked the name of this level, we can only speculate on this level and the unnamed levels 15 and 17 (for 16, see "BGI HQ"). However, Chris Butcher's comment above and Hardy's comment [http://carnage.bungie.org/oniforum/oni.forum.pl?read=19648 here] indicate that levels were originally ordered in line with an earlier version of the story. | ||
Hence, the gaps in numbering are mostly indicative of a change in plans rather than content being cut. When the game was taking its final form during an intense crunch period, closing the gaps in the level numbering would have required renumbering levels that didn't otherwise need to be moved. Names of various animations indicate that the Mountain Compound level which is now level19 was once numbered level7. What that says for the original flow of the story is difficult to say, but it illustrates how much content may have been shuffled around. | |||

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 [[OBD:Localization/German|German Mac]] Oni and the PS2 port. 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. | 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.
