![]() Kyne and Brennan deduce that the marker is somehow causing the hysteria among the crew. As the marker is found and acquired, the colonists and ship crew start experiencing symptoms of hysteria. As per standard planet cracking protocol, a colony is established on Aegis VII while Captain Mathias focuses on obtaining the marker. However, it turns out that Eckhardt has strong ties to Unitology and is really in search of the marker. In 2508, CEC Executive Warren Eckhardt sends the Ishimura on a planet cracking mission to Aegis VII. They have built Mausoleum ships for believer corpses to send to a marker for a great ascendance in the form of convergence. Unitologists believe that the reanimation and amalgamation of dead tissue into the Hivemind is a form of ascendance otherwise known as "Convergence". Altman dies "under mysterious circumstances" and being considered a martyr for a greater cause, the church of Unitology is founded in his name. Meanwhile back on earth, geophysicist Michael Altman investigates the original black marker and publicises it's existence as well as the government cover up. Lo and behold, a necromorph outbreak occurs, everyone dies, and the Sovereign Colonies cover up the incident and seal off the system. It also reanimates dead tissue which forms into necromorphs who all function in accordance with the will of the Hivemind seeking to gather more dead tissue to increase it's own mass.ĭeeming the benefits of sustainable energy worth the risk of a necromorph outbreak, the Sovereign Colonies reverse engineer the marker, create a new one, and send it to a colony on Aegis VII to test it's functionality. The signal also creates hysteria, hallucinations, dementia, and psychosis for everyone within a certain vicinity of the marker. This marker emanates a signal that can be harvested as a sustainable energy source. In 2214, an alien artefact (dubbed the "marker") is discovered in the Gulf of Mexico by the Sovereign Colonies (predecessor of EarthGov).
