====Rampancy====
The world [[wiktionary:rampant|rampant]] had existed before Bungie, but the specific concept of rampancy was coined and subsequently [[wikipedia:Marathon_Trilogy#Motifs|developed by the Marathon team]]. The three/four stages of a rampant (abnormally self-aware) AI are Melancholia, Anger, Jealousy, Meta-Stability. An egotistical level of self-awareness accompanies the development of the AI's personality. The (subtitle-only) tirades of the Deadly Brain are a reference to this, as well as Shinatama's statement, "Clearly, it's gone rampant". However, a Rampancy in Marathon takes place when an AI (not a human mind) is exposed to large amounts of data for a long enough period of time. Here, the Deadly Brain is essentially just going crazy because Konoko "decoupled its core logic".

:''A very blatant Marathon reference in Oni. In level 2 (see http://oni.bungie.org/res/) you have to fight a "[[Deadly Brain]]". It is a human brain hooked up to a computer. As you disable it, it tries to leave its intranet. At one point [[Shinatama]] says that "Clearly, it's gone rampant...".
