Contact the game to understand it a little bit, spoilers are the most annoying.

I only learned about this animation in 2008 when I was playing Dead Space, so I stopped for a while to watch the animation version after playing Chapter 8. The protagonist of the game is the spacecraft that rushed to cordially condone Ishimura at the end of the animation.
The earth government excavated the first MARKER in ALTMAN 200 years ago. Through the study of the ancient texts, human beings learned that some technologies that can replace God to create new life were recorded on the MARKER. The scientists in charge of archaeology then carried forward In order to climb to the top of the mountain and find the spirit of God sitting there drinking tea, he founded the Unification Church, specializing in the interpretation of inscriptions and the study of genetic technology. special type). The Beacon Church has grown rapidly and has gradually mastered many economic lifelines (colonial mining companies and Shicun, the church holding), and human forces are roughly divided into half of the Earth government (non-believers) and the other half of the government + Holy See (government). There are not a few believers. In the animation, in the BRIDGE dispute, the doctor also said). Although the inscription also warns that this kind of practice that goes against the laws of nature is very dangerous, curiosity killed the cat, and the foundation of the Unification Church lies in the technology of the inscription. After establishing research institutes in various colonies (AEGIS is one of them), according to the technology of the inscription, humans have created meat bats and copied MARKER, but the reproduction rate of this ferocious species is far beyond the controllable range of humans (Some even mutated Have Mind similar to the brain worm), the half of the government that was alert to the danger of the unbelievers decisively stopped these researches and buried the experimental base with the MARKER replica. Since the church's power center has money and power, and the other half of the government has no other way, the two sides continue to struggle.
Until the era of animation and games, the immortal church instructed its holding company to dig in the name of mining in ALTMAN. After unwitting employees of the company accidentally discovered the MARKER replica and the remains of the research institute, the church quickly dispatched the Shicun number to fetch the MARKER. The following events follow, the MARKER is removed, the xenomorphs that have been suppressed wake up, the mental disturbance of the brain worm Have Mind can cause people to become homicidal and suicidal, and the meat bats use these corpses for reproduction ( Only meat bats can reproduce, and being injured by other aliens will only be infected and have a tendency to violence), and then the plot seen in the animation. It should be noted that MARKER also has a mind-disturbing ability, but mainly warns humans to put it back, and the actions of Dr. Kane and the final hallucination of the heroine are the reasons for it. And Have Mind's mental influence range is much larger than MARKER, so the people on board are also affected.
As for the plot of the spaceship that rescued the Shimura in the game, only three people survived after the rescue ship boarded, the protagonist Isaac, the black Hammert, and the computer expert Kendra (KFC). When Pig Knuckles killed monsters and bought equipment on the boat, he saw many phantoms of his girlfriend (the influence of MARKER made him return himself and suppress the aliens). Halfway through the game, I met Dr. Kane, who warned me to return the token and not get it back to Earth. At this time, another spaceship USG VALOR came over. After the VALOR cup, everyone decided to use the energy core on VALOR to repair a shuttle and send MARKER back. Hammert was killed in the battle to capture the core. After repairing the ship, Kendra turned against the water, killed the Doctor, and drove the ship with MARKER to the earth. It turned out that she was an agent of the church. With the help of his girlfriend's hallucination, Pig's feet recalled the boat and sent it back to MARKER with the Shicun, and killed Have Mind in the ruins. In the ending animation, when Pig's feet sailed back to the earth, an alien shaped like his girlfriend rushed from the back. Come up, the end .
PS: Maybe you will say, on shit, I don't play games, how do I know what's going on with those things. It doesn't matter, let's explain them one by one.
At the beginning of the film, geologist Jenny said that the cutting marks of the relic rocks were caused by an old-fashioned excavator, and another companion said she was talking nonsense, and that kind of machine had been eliminated more than 100 years ago. It is implied that the ruins are some kind of institutional ruins left by humans.
After discovering MARKER, the person in charge first notified the superiors with church background, not others.
The cracking planet is actually fine. The key is that the MARKER is removed and the alien wakes up, which is rather confusing here. MARKER is already on board in the film while breaking up chunks of the planet's surface, and the colony is in a cup by the time the scene progresses.
The influence of Have Mind is much greater than that of MARKER, after all, it is a replica, only the suppression pressure is better. Have Mind creates murderous and suicidal thoughts, as well as the idea of ​​getting MARKER back to Earth; MARKER is so weak that it can only affect those close to it, the Doctor and the Captain. This is easy to understand. If it was MARKER who made people kill and commit suicide, why was it okay a few years ago, and it was okay to dig it out, but it happened immediately after being taken away? Of course, this is also because the film did not explain the existence of the brain bug.
