The Necromorphs' motivations are to create a mass of necrotic flesh that can be collected by the Markers during Convergence with the intention of creating another Brethren Moon, perpetuating the Moons' galaxy-wide cycle of extinction. The Necromorphs are controlled via the Markers by a group of entities known as the Brethren Moons, which are massive, highly intelligent beings created after a Convergence Event is initiated by a Marker. They are believed to be the heralds of humanity's ascension by certain Unitologists and individuals suffering from Marker Dementia, but on a more practical level, they are the extremely dangerous result of the exposure of dead tissue to the Markers' signal. The sole purpose of all Necromorphs is to acquire more bodies to convert and spread the infection. The resulting creatures are extremely aggressive and will attack any uninfected organism on sight. But, that's my take on things.Necromorphs are mutated corpses reshaped into horrific new forms by a recombinant extraterrestrial infection derived from a genetic code etched into and transmitted by the Markers. Danik was over the top enough, he felt like a blood relative of Albert Wesker and any time a game conjures images of 'Resident Evil,' you've got a problem. Most of it relies on the seemingly spiritual nature of it. The expanded universe has always illustrated how the Marker works and why people form a fascination with and devotion to it. Granted, he is part of an extremist group, but because previous games have done a great deal of showing and hinting, not telling, we were always led to wonder many details about the Unitologists' devotion to this malicious object. Not only does he feel like a poor Bond villain, he provides an unwelcome deeper examination into the Unitologists' philosophy. He is most unwelcome part of the entire plot. Now, as I mentioned in my main review, most of this is very much in line with the previous entries except for Danik. Ergo, we'd see Isaac speaking directly to Ellie if this was the case. This makes me think Isaac is still alive and Tau Volantis' broken moon is merely one of many like it, which we will inevitably see in 'Dead Space 4.' A few boards have hypothesized that Isaac is dead and will now haunt Ellie as a spectre, but as the novels have established, the spectres of the Marker are merely psychic manipulations - not actual ghosts. Fans of 'Dead Space' may remember the chapter names always spell a message, like 'Nicole is dead.' 'Dead Space 3's' chapter names spell 'Brother moons are awake.' At the very end, Isaac can be heard uttering Ellie's name.
