The word [[wikt:rampant|rampant]] had existed before Bungie, but the specific concept of "[[wp:Marathon | The word [[wikt:rampant|rampant]] had existed before Bungie, but the specific concept of "[[wp:Marathon (series)#Rampancy|rampancy]]", referring to an AI that goes out of control and acts with free will, was coined and subsequently developed by the Marathon team (this concept was revisited by 343 Industries for Halo 4). The three/four stages of a rampant AI are Melancholia, Anger, Jealousy, and Metastability. An egotistical level of self-awareness accompanies the development of the AI's personality. The tirades of the [[Deadly Brain]] (only seen in the subtitles) are a reference to this, as shown by Shinatama's statement, "Clearly, it's gone rampant." However, a rampancy in Marathon takes place when an AI is exposed to large amounts of data for a long enough period of time. Here, the Deadly Brain is a disembodied human brain, and it is essentially just going crazy because Konoko "decoupled its core logic" (how exactly does one do that to a human brain, anyway?). | ||

Another back-reference to Oni from a later game. In Bungie's new Marathon, you control a cybernetic "runner" who can take contracts from various corporations. One of these corporations, CyberAcme (CyAc for short), uses an AI agent called ONI. For players who pick CyAc as their starting corporation, ONI is responsible for overseeing the runner's "reorientation" when their consciousness is installed into a newly manufactured body (this is the basis for the tutorial). Like Halo's "ONI", her name is pronounced as the word "oni", not as separate letters. She is voiced by Donnla Hughes. ONI's appearances so far are: | Another back-reference to Oni from a later game.
