After struggling with the Marker as Isaac tried to make his way into the planet as the Necromorphs sent by the Hive Mind tried to kill him while at the same time returning the Marker to its original position, Isaac heads back to the shuttle only to be stopped by Kendra as she stole the Marker. Because the Marker has also influenced Isaac, he has also pulled the shuttle back to the ship, causing Kendra to use an escape pod instead. Kyne to death before she tried leaving with an escape shuttle with the Marker. However, one of Isaac's allies Kendra Daniels betrayed him and shot Dr. Terrence Kyne, explaining to him how to end the horror in the ship and the planet by returning back the Marker to its original position. As the mining colony collapses, the Hive Mind soon gains control of the Ishimura as well. This has caused things to go south as the Hive Mind reawakens from its 200 years of slumber where it uses its telepathy to command its minions and tried killing anyone who has stumbled upon its nest. While the USG Ishimura begins its planet cracking, the Hive Mind was exposed to the surface world however, the Marker later reached its 'final potency', thus causing all the dead bodies to transform into a Necromorph. Immediately the Marker reactivated and started its second phase by slowly driving the miners into insanity. When the USG Ishimura arrived at the Aegis VII, a group of miners discovered the Marker 3A. Despite the danger of travelling there due to a classified information, nonetheless the CEC continued constructing a colony to begin their mining operations. Two centuries later, the Concordance Extraction Corporation (CEC) discovered Aegis VII as a goldmine resource. After realizing that the Marker is in fact a dangerous weapon, further experiments were cancelled before the Marker is being used one last time to suppress the towering beast where the Hive Mind returned to a complex cave system for its slumber. Initially, the creature is seen in a blurry video in which it is believed to be a divine being worshipped by a mad scientist named Dr. The Hive Mind is born out of an unwitting military experiment caused by the activation of the Marker 3A centuries prior to the events of the first game.
