*Passing reference is made to the Deadly Brain going "rampant", which is definitely a nod to Marathon. That being said, this situation is not the same as a Rampancy in Marathon, which takes place when an AI (not a human mind) is exposed to large amounts of data for a long enough period of time, and that Rampancy occurs in stages called Melancholia, Anger, and Jealousy. Here, the Deadly Brain is essentially just going crazy because Konoko "decoupled its core logic". | |||
*Does Konoko's progressive disabling of the "brainframe" seem a little reminiscent of 2001: A Space Odyssey? Perhaps it should, because the Brain's last line is a reference to the disconnection of HAL by Dave Bowman, as HAL slowly loses his higher faculties (and HAL's recitation is, in turn, a reference to the first song sung by a computer, "Daisy Bell"). | |||
