They tried using its pedastal to syphon and convert the energy the marker was leaking too ground - you see this in the government sector in 2.

And the energy its emitting cannot be harnessed. The problem was though, was that the marker is able to pick up a signal and rebroadcast it. The markers were originally thought to produce their own energy, so the thought was to try and harness that energy. Now bare in mind we are discussing sci fi, we arent going to understand and arent ment too just by that alone. Among other things, two of the main things that the markers signal is transmiting, is the instructions on how too build them, and how to create a recombinant microbe. The marker IS NOT the thing that is changing the dna causing the mutations. The marker was not sent to earth to guide evolution. This will help you realise that its not that simple.īut I would start here as too what the marker is doing to the brains of those affected. I would suggest you read martyr so as to get a better understanding of how unitology formed. Radikov promises to guide Vandal in escaping.Okay so as far as the unitologists wanting to worship the marker instead of destroying it or leaving it alone. After doing so, Vandal is contacted by Tyler Radikov, a Unitologist contact, who swears that Le Guin duped him too, and that he had no idea what Vandal's real mission was. Meanwhile, the station's director Hans Tiedemann contacts Vandal and orders the restoration of all quarantine seals.

Disgusted, Vandal decides to reveal the Unitologists' plans to the government. On the way there, the head of Unitology, Daina Le Guin, tells Vandal that destroying the power boxes has released a Necromorph infestation onto the station and that Vandal's death, and the deaths of all the miners, will be a glorious event. After doing so, Vandal is attacked by a group of Necromorphs and forced to flee towards a tram system. Vandal is directed over a headset to destroy a series of power boxes, cutting off communications to certain parts of the station. In Dead Space, the player controls 'Vandal', a newly converted Unitologist on a mission in the mines of Titan Station, orbiting Saturn.
