Currently halfway through the trilogy and I'm kind of confused on the whole thing. If anyone who's played through the series could help me out it'd be much appreciated.
1. Where did the markers come from?
2. If markers infect dead tissue, where did the hive mind come from?
3. Why does Unitology want the markers so badly even if they know it kills everyone?
4. What do markers do, besides sending out signals and resurrection?

Edited by Braydzz: 4/29/2013 4:43:48 AMSurprisingly the "Previously on dead space" in Dead Space 3 answers a lot of things I didn't even know. 1. The first black marker was found on Earth. 2."The Hive Mind was unwittingly created as a result of military testing of the experimental Red Marker over two centuries prior to the events of Dead Space, on the remote planet Aegis VII. When the Marker proved to be too dangerous to wield as a weapon, further experimentation with it was aborted and it was used one last time in order to suppress the Hive Mind - a massive Necromorph that was the source of the Necromorph outbreak on Aegis VII and, subsequently, the USG Ishimura." It also makes more sense at the end of Dead Space 3. 3. Because they believe it grants them special power and a life after death. 4. More is answered at the end of Dead Space 3.
