This one is actually a back-reference to Oni from a later game. Oni doesn't refer to Halo (unless you count the fan project [[AE:BGI]]), but [[wp:Halo_(video_game_series)|Halo]] features an entity called ONI. It stands for [[wp:Office_of_Naval_Intelligence_(Halo)|Office of Naval Intelligence]]. A military intelligence service called the Office of Naval Intelligence [[wp:Office_of_Naval_Intelligence|actually exists]] in the real world: it's the oldest continuously operating intelligence service in the United States (in operation since 1882). It seems likely that Halo develops on that longevity and tries to imagine what influence today's ONI would have in the 2550s.

The poster for "mr.b's dance troupe", appearing in [[Rooftops]], can be seen at right. It names three members of the team, Dave Dunn, Steve Abeyta and Chris Lee. "Mr. B" may possibly be referring to Brent Pease, who was Project Lead through the end of 1999.
The [[:Image:No 1 Chris Hughes GLASSMBO.jpg|impact texture]] for the Mercury Bow contains the name of Chris Hughes, one of the texture artists. His name is also preserved in the Hughes Death Adder SMG, the standard weapon for Syndicate Strikers.
