-*An inside source told us that the story document from Spring 1999 was written by Alex Mendoza, who was a temp. You'll find his name at the very end of the credits (I suppose if they had actually used his story he would have gotten a much higher placement). His being a temp, not an employee of Bungie, explains the comment "BWest thinks the game is going to end with her stumbling out of the rubble", where the writer comments on "Bungie West" as if they're a separate entity from himself. It's possible that Bungie never intended for Oni to have its final story written by a temp, and simply wanted a rough draft to kick around while the engine got off the ground.

 *It's interesting to note that all the bold names in the story document which don't have asterisks were ultimately used in Oni, except for Konoko's father's name, which isn't given at all in Oni's final story. Here it's "Shin" (although that name is attached to "Takamatsu"), however in Konoko's Unit Viewer bio (see below), Hasegawa's first name is Kenichi.
