## Church of Unitology

* In 2214, a geophysicist named Michael Altman made a discovery that would change history. Buried at the impact site of a crater near the Yucatán Peninsula, he uncovered a divine alien presence: the Marker. The Marker spoke to Altman and revealed a plan that would unify mankind and lead them to a bright, new future.
* By the millions, people flocked to hear more about the Marker and the unity it promised after Michael Altman told the world of his profound discovery. But there were those who felt threatened by Altman's message. On March 15th 2215, Altman was assassinated, and thus became the first martyr for the Church.
* Altman's followers mourned his death, but found divine solace in his message of unity. They would not allow the truth to be silenced, and formed the Church of Unitology to bring his teachings to the world.
* [Prayer] Praise Altman, chosen of the Marker, architect of the Church. For Altman is the way and the light. Through Convergence, we all become one. One mind, one being, one flesh. Divine ascension awaits the faithful. Beyond the flesh and through the Marker. Altman be praised.

## Dialogue
### Chapter 6

    Nolan Stross: [contacting Isaac via holo-link] Isaac? Isaac, are you there? Can you hear me?
    Isaac Clarke: What do you want, Stross? Look, it's over. All my plans just blew out the window.
    Stross: No, no, no, no! It's not over, at least not yet. Isaac, we built it. We can tear it down!
    Isaac: You mean the Marker? Do you know where the Marker is, Stross?
    Stross: [suffering another headache] I-it's in the Government Sector! The Government Sector! But we have to move now! Now, now, now! Because time is running out for me… for us! [cuts the call]
    Isaac: Stross… Stross! Where are you going?! Shit!

### Chapter 8

    Isaac: [contacting Ellie] You guys okay?
    Ellie Langford (holo-link): [firing at more Necromorphs] No, not really!

### Chapter 10

    Ellie: They're [the Necromorphs] swarming into the Medical Deck. At least you don't have to go through there.
    Tram Announcer: Obstruction detected. Shutting down. Welcome to the Medical Deck.
    Isaac: Crap.

### Chapter 12

    Ellie: [driving the drill] You okay out there?
    Isaac: [fending off Necromorphs on the drill deck, sarcastically] Oh, yeah! Good times!

### Chapter 13

    Hans Tiedemann: [appearing on Isaac's RIGLink] Clarke! I knew you were trouble from the start, but they told me you were necessary. That your mind was the purest. I've spent years sifting through your demented brain! This is not the way it was supposed to happen!
    Isaac Clarke: Well, how was it supposed to happen, Tiedemann?
    Hans Tiedemann: We had it under control! Clarke, this is not our fault! We were so close to understanding it!
    [The giant Marker begins to glow and pulse]
    Hans Tiedemann: What? It's all those bodies you led in here! It's triggering… a Convergence event. But we never… expected… this many bodies!
    [Energy pulses from the Marker, blowing Necromorphs into the air and cutting Tiedemann's call in the process]
    Isaac Clarke: [shielding his eyes] Why? What's it doing?
    Nicole Brennan: [apparition] What it was made to do. Isaac, you have to make us whole.
