Relative to an origin O, the position vectors of points A and B are given by
\(\overrightarrow{OA} = \begin{pmatrix} 3 \\ -6 \\ p \end{pmatrix}\) and \(\overrightarrow{OB} = \begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ -6 \\ -7 \end{pmatrix}\),
and angle \(AOB = 90^\circ\).
(i) Find the value of \(p\).
The point C is such that \(\overrightarrow{OC} = \frac{2}{3} \overrightarrow{OA}\).
(ii) Find the unit vector in the direction of \(\overrightarrow{BC}\).
