dead space - why does the hive mind try to kill you

The Markers are a form of technology designed to do… SOMETHING. What is the purpose of the Markers?Īccording to the Church of Unitology, the Markers are a divine gift given to us to rebirth the human race and raise us to a higher plane of existence.ĮarthGov, and the government organisations that came before them, believed that the Markers could be used as a power source of some kind since it seemed to be generating it out of nowhere. The only thing we can be certain of is that an unknown alien race, a very long time ago, began a process that created Markers and everything else that comes with it. I know, that’s not much of an answer, but that’s the most truthful answer you’re going to get about the Markers. What we do know is that the Markers are a form of technology and that they serve some sort of purpose that may have either gone horribly wrong… or horribly right. Many different people and groups within the Dead Space universe have their own views of where the Markers came from, who created them and their purpose, but these views aren’t actually based on any solid evidence. There is no information in the series that gives us any clues as to the nature of the originators of the Markers or why they created them in the first place.

The original source of the Markers is not known and may never be revealed. There’s a lot of mystery surrounding the monolithic structures called “Markers” but I think there’s enough information in the various sources of Dead Space media that hint at, at least, some of what is going on.

Since Visceral Games is no more, I guess this is a good a time as any to dig this entry up, dust it off and finish what I started. According to the revision logs, I originally started typing this up back in March 2013, a month after Dead Space 3 came out. Wow, this entry has been sitting around in my Draft folder for a very long time. Articles 28 October 2017 “Make us whole again.” Explaining the Markers from Dead Space
