Dead Space: Downfall Page #3

Damn it, Vincent, what is going on?

I've got a man down.

We're in the morgue, A Deck.

We were attacked by something.

Not sure what.

Sh*t! Shen, look out!

What the f*** was that?

I don't know.

F*** this sh*t.

Let's get the f*** out of here.

Man up, Shen.

You got a job to do.

Dobbs is f***ing dead!

Get a hold of yourselves.

Whatever these things are,

they're loose on the ship.

Secure this room

and get ready to move.

Vincent to bridge. Over.

I want a report, Vincent.

Something's going on, sir.

Something alien is attacking us.

- We need to talk.

- Not now.

Captain, whatever was on the planet

has made it aboard ship,

and it's somehow connected to the Marker.

I think the church may have been mistaken.

Sir, I just lost telemetry

on 10 crew members.

Five more just flat lined.

Where are they?

Mess hall, A Deck.

Get me a visual.

Sound the alarm!

Vincent, get your team

to A Deck mess hall on the double.

On our way.

Get full mags in those weapons.

I think we're about to walk

into a world of sh*t.

Jeez, Shen.

Over there.

Get ready to fire on my command.

Fire!

Huh?

Get the f*** off.

Get it away! Get it away!

Get it away!

Holy sh*t.

Pendleton.

Who are you?

Samuel Irons, mechanics division.

Thanks for the assist, Irons.

No problem.

These things seem

to handle bullets just fine.

But a couple rips

from this bad boy

and they don't get up.

We've noticed.

Where'd you get that?

There's a store room down the hall.

I busted open a crate.

It was a divine discovery

at a time like this,

don't you think?

Ah, sh*t.

You another Unitologist?

Shut it.

Ramirez, Shen,

go grab us some weapons.

Bridge, this is Vincent,

come in. Over.

Sh*t. Com is down.

I think we should consider

abandoning ship.

If these things have spread,

there's no stopping them.

Our job is the safety of the crew.

The way I see it,

we have two options.

Fight or die.

We don't have the luxury of running.

I've lost contact with the bridge.

We're going to head there now.

Anything gets in our way,

cut first, ask questions later.

Got it?

- Got it.

- Got it.

Sir, systems are failing

all over the ship.

Shipboard communication

is all but down.

Plot a course for Earth.

We're getting the hell out of here.

What?

Lock down any sections of the ship

affected by this disturbance.

I want it contained, do you understand?

We have to get the artifact home.

That is our only mission now.

Captain, listen to me.

We're not in control anymore.

I'm not sure we ever were.

What are you talking about?

The artifact, the mission.

It's a trap. It has to be.

We've brought something aboard

that we didn't understand.

Something alien, and it's trying to kill us.

We cannot bring the artifact to Earth.

Have you lost your mind, Doctor?

The holy artifact must be

delivered to the church

if humanity is to be delivered

into the welcome arms

of the universal awakening!

Keep your voice down.

Don't tell me what to do.

I'm the captain. This is my ship!

You are being irrational.

People are dying.

We are all in danger!

The faithless want to destroy the artifact

because they fear it.

I won't allow it, Kyne.

I will not allow it!

The Marker is making us

paranoid and delusional.

It's the only explanation

for the irrational behavior

that has been plaguing the colony,

the crew, and now the officers.

This is not irrational, Doctor.

This is religious persecution.

And I'm not going to allow you,

or anyone else, to destroy the artifact.

White, have the doctor restrained!

Sir, he's right.

He's speaking heresy.

He's a spy, planted on my ship

to destroy any hope we

have of transcending death.

You need to calm down.

I gave you an order, Mr. White!

Nobody cares if you're a Uni, Cap.

We just want to get out of this alive!

What is that supposed to mean?

Captain, please.

Let me give you a sedative.

Wait a minute.

You... You're all with him.

He's going to poison me, isn't he?

F*** this, he's lost it!

You'll all be arrested for mutiny.

He's out of his mind, Kyne.

Give him something.

Get your filthy...

Get off of me!

We have to bring the artifact

back to Earth.

The church needs it.

Kyne, you traitor! You're one of us.

You were sent here by the church,

specifically, to retrieve the Marker.

Just like me!

You bastard!

This is a sedative.

Don't fight us.

- It's for your own good.

- Bastard!

Get away from me.

Hold his head.

I'm trying.

My God.

Is he...

The sedative must have

punctured his brain.

You killed him, Doc.

You all saw it.

He killed the captain.

It was an accident.

Arrest the doctor.

Launch sequence

for escape procedure's initiated.

Who is doing this?

I don't know.

Shuttles 1 through 25

have launched.

The shuttles are all empty.

There is only one thing left to do.

Stop the launches!

I'm trying.

Shuttles 26 through 50

have launched.

That's all of them.

All emergency shuttles are gone.

We need another way

up to the bridge.

If there still is a bridge.

There's a utility lift ahead.

We could move up to hydroponics

and cross to the bridge from there.

Some time today!

I got it.

Get inside.

Ramirez, slow them down.

I'm out.

Hansen, come on.

What happened back there?

I don't know what you mean.

You froze up.

Do I need to worry

about you, Hansen?

You falling apart on us, Sarge?

Maybe Irons here can sign you up

with the Unitologists.

They seem pretty at peace

with this bullshit.

I'm okay.

Mind your own f***ing business.

Seems quiet enough.

Famous last words.

One way to find out.

Move out.

We're not far.

It's okay, it's okay.

Keep an eye on Hansen.

You can handle it together.

Come on, come on.

Shut the f*** up, Hansen.

We don't need

any attention right now.

F*** you, Vincent!

This is your fault!

You've killed us, you f***!

We're all dead.

Hansen, shut your f***ing mouth.

You've clocked out, man.

Pull it together.

They want our bodies.

And they're going to get them.

What the...

Shen!

Yah!

These guys ain't that tough.

Shen!

Sorry, boss.

I wasn't fast enough.

Not your fault.

They turn us on ourselves.

If they don't kill us all,

we will kill ourselves.

Let's go.

The captain's body

is secure in the morgue.

What do we do now?

The captain's dead.

We lost control of the ship.

No escape shuttles.

Communication array's

been incapacitated.

There's no way of contacting home.

It's only a matter of time

until those things reach us.

All for a fool's errand.

Can they get through?

Probably.

You guys expecting someone else?

You're a sight for sore eyes.

Is that a compliment?

Now I know things are f***ed up.

Where's the captain?

He's dead. Kyne killed him.

It could have been an accident.

Well, it doesn't really matter.

What's the ship's status?

I was hoping you'd tell us.

Communication has been sh*t

since the crack.

We're not really sure

what's going on.

Most of my team was lost, I haven't

been able to raise any other squads.

These f***ers are mean,
