Demystifying Dead Space remake's lore and events

The events of the Dead Space remake unraveled in 2508. Humanity has evolved and has leveraged technology to mine resources from faraway planets. The downside of this evolution is that the Earth lacks any valuable resources. This led to the construction of giant spaceships termed' Planet Cracker' to conduct mining operations on other planets.

One such mammoth shuttle is the USG Ishimura. The journey begins when engineer Issac Clarke and his crew receive a distress call from the ship. The following teammates accompany Issac:

• Zack Hammond (Security Officer)
• Kendra Daniels (Technical Expert)
• Johnston (Corporal)
• Aiden Chen (Corporal)

The distress call is given due consideration, and the mission becomes a priority since Issac's wife, Nicole Brennan, is a doctor stationed at the USG Ishimura. The team is perplexed to find no soul when they eventually land in the docking bay of the 'Planet Cracker.' The team gets ambushed by a mysterious creature that manages to kill Aiden Chen.

At this point, Issac is secluded from his teammates. There is no way left but to venture deep into the spaceship and investigate the source of these atrocities. Escaping the ship is the end goal once the creatures are dealt with. Thus begins the real journey of exploring the harrowing areas of the USG Ishimura. Issac even reunites with her wife at a certain point in the game.

Issac soon begins to fix parts of the ship and uncovers some secrets. He learned that USG Ishimura was in the middle of a mining operation. The ship is floating around the planet called Aegis VII.

The disturbing revelation is that the planet had a human colony placed under Quarantine many years ago. Despite these conditions, the ship's crew were mining to acquire 'Red Marker,' a mysterious artifact.

As players progress the story further, it is revealed that there is a 'Black Marker' on the planet Aegis VII, which is the actual artifact, while the 'Red Markers' were artificially created by humans.

The 'Black Marker' is a type of teleportation device that has the potential to unleash necromorphs wherever it lands. Another threat is a 'Convergence' event that will result from red markers being activated by the necromorphs.

The degree of destruction and the fundamental nature of 'Convergence' is unknown. Evading this event's occurrence is complex as an entity known as the Hive Mind is empowering the necromorph outbreak. Issac realizes that transporting the red marker from USG Ishimura to the black marker on Aegis VII can seal the powerful entity for good.

Issac accomplishes the goal of defeating the hive mind. However, Issac is distraught when he realizes that his wife had died before he set foot on USG Ishimura. The person he encountered was a different doctor and not his wife. The red marker was responsible for mind-controlling Issac and corrupting him.
