Dead Space

[DeadKennedys]

Little moments like that, man...



SPOILERS
















So, Nicole, dead hallucination or alive? I'm guessing the first, since she acts like nothing's wrong when you meet her (the same way Kendra talked about seeing her brother), the first letter of every chapter spells out "Nicole is dead", she's listed dead on a text log, and twice you see her as a skull on a monitor. But then again she activates a switch and pilots a shuttle. I think the Marker made her up, cause she kept saying "make us whole again", i.e., bring the marker and hive mind together again.

Also, the story is confusing the hell out of me, lemme get this straight. Humans find Marker, humans make a volatile copy of Marker, send marker to Aegis 7, 200 years later humans colonize it not knowing about the marker, they start going crazy from it, they excavate it and activate the trap card and it starts making them into Necros, Unitologists find out and stage a "mining operation" which is really just a heist to get the marker all while killing themselves to make bodies for the necros. Right?

So why would the hive mind want the Marker back if it's going to suppress it?
