There was one part where my friend muted the TV without my knowledge and I thought I blew out part of the ship's hull and was in space or something because I couldn't hear anything.

Then I turned around and a Necormorph was rearing silently back to attack. Not intentional, but fucking awesome.

Little moments like that, man...

SPOILERS

So, Nicole, dead hallucination or alive? I'm guessing the first, since she acts like nothing's wrong when you meet her (the same way Kendra talked about seeing her brother), the first letter of every chapter spells out "Nicole is dead", she's listed dead on a text log, and twice you see her as a skull on a monitor. But then again she activates a switch and pilots a shuttle. I think the Marker made her up, cause she kept saying "make us whole again", i.e., bring the marker and hive mind together again.

Also, the story is confusing the hell out of me, lemme get this straight. Humans find Marker, humans make a volatile copy of Marker, send marker to Aegis 7, 200 years later humans colonize it not knowing about the marker, they start going crazy from it, they excavate it and activate the trap card and it starts making them into Necros, Unitologists find out and stage a "mining operation" which is really just a heist to get the marker all while killing themselves to make bodies for the necros. Right?

So why would the hive mind want the Marker back if it's going to suppress it?

Heres a little clarification for the above posters insight on the first letters of the chapters.

Pretty sneaky huh?

Also, the Hive Mind didint want the marker the Ghosts of the Planet did. (Or the Ghosts of the aliens or whatever.....Who cares really? HOLY SH*T I JUST BLEW OFF ITS LEGS! RADICAL!)

I saw that sneakiness on the internet, never would have caught it myself!

Ghosts of the Planet, huh? I'll have to do some research. I never read the comics cause I was afraid of spoiling the game

I liked that little detail. Sadly the translators weren´t aware, that the Chapter Names had to mean something and now we get "Nikdrgitrhst" or something like that in the german version...which is otherwise pretty decent and as such a rarity. Still have to finish 4 Levels on Impossible but Fallout 3 and Farcry 2 keep me distracted...
