The Leviathan is a massive creature but its origins appear to be shrouded in mystery. Obviously all over the ship, the corruption continues to grow but there is fundamentally one major difference, perceived intellect. While the corruption passively changes the environment around it, the leviathan takes on a more specialized roll. Changing people specifically to fill the the atmosphere changer conditions. But the question is, where did this behemoth come from and how did it get attached to the Ishimura? Lets discuss that in todays episode!

My head cannon ending was that the moons would work like macro predators and move on once any major cluster of organic matter is eaten/assimilated. In dead space lore humans are vaguely an interstellar race. It is fully possible that once the moons move on and all centres with markers are wiped out that humanity will be left as isolated pockets too small to attract breatherin moons or form a new moon. The only race we know was entirely wiped out was a planetary based one. It would also fit the Lovecraftian theme of indifference as individuals would not be worth the attention of the greater organism.

The Leviathan is one of my favorite bosses in dead space and I originally had a theory that the leviathan was part plant biomass Because of its location in food storage and its adjacency to Hydroponics. Back when I played the original dead space

[@trumediamix1]

I loved fighting the Leviathan, too, tbh. Despite that it was meant to make me feel like I was in a terrifying David VS Goliath scenario, the whole thing made me feel like I was kicking ass on par to a Night Sentinel. ❤ _"Rip and Tear... UNTIL IT IS DONE!"_

2024 and we STILL getting dead space videos and lore drops…..this is why im here. KEEP IT UP BOSS!!!! You a real one.

[@Darkus-Cyril]

On that theory you had at around 8:49, I remember reading a fanfic(and it was actually a good one, not a crappy senseless one) where it is theorized the Oldest Brethren Moon was once a member of an alien species who developed the Marker, which was intended to be a medical device meant to alter the physiology of another being, but one member of this race grew power hungry and used the Black Marker to turn himself into what he believed to be a god-like entity and began to try and convert the universe to be like him but under his control. (also, apparently there were 2 other Markers, a Gold and a Crystal Marker. The Crystal was a data storage unit and the Gold had some secret that could stop the necromorphs.)

[@chrisdufresne9359]

Hey Roanoke, there's a Dead Space movie called Dead Space: Downfall. I'm not sure if it's technically canon, but it explicitly states that the Church of Unitology knowingly broke the systems quarantine in order to get to the Aegis 7 Marker. The captain of the Ishamura explicitly says that the church sent the ship.

[@goldedrag111]

It’s technically canon.

[@nightblade628]

It’s also mentioned (at least in the remake and I’m sure the original as well) that they made very sure to have active Unitologists serving in key positions aboard the Ishimura (or those sympathetic to the cause) like the Captain. Altman be praised, and all that.

[@chrisdufresne9359]

@@nightblade628 The captain DID specifically ask how much of the crew were Unitoligists.

[@spacemanju7]

Its canon and the second dead space movie as well dead space aftermath which sucks compared to downfall

[@Crimnox_Cinder]

If you paid attention to the video, 7:30-7:39 is taken directly from Dead Space: Downfall. There is also a second movie; Dead Space: Aftermath. which takes place after the events of the first game and gives more information on Nolan Stross (from Dead Space 2), what happened to Aegis 7 after the tectonic load impacted the planet, as well as what happened to the marker following the end of the first game. There are also several books that are canon, like Dead Space: Martyr, which tells the events of the first time earth tried researching the Black Marker, and how the leading figure in Unitology; Michael Altman came to be. not to mention the several comics like Dead Space: Ignition.

You should cover the Zombieism Virus from the Rebuild series. Rebuild 3 shows the majority of the lore though. It's interesting how it started, the concept of the "Antivenom" cure, and the culmination to the true cure. There's a bunch of different zombie tropes to explore too: the immune, the smart zombie, super zombies, super strain, and unwitting carriers.

12:00 the VAST majority of the ones that effect you are necessary parts of your digestive system, though. Fun fact: these can be manipulated by eating different foods so as to feed different bacteria in your gut biome, which partly affects your cravings. TL:DR; Those bacteria help you eat and if you want to crave a food, eat a lot of it.

[@fkrkf]

I just got Shudder, mate you gotta do Monstrum! Communicable disease, big monster, some very sus selective breeding of big monster, and the plot is good and the dialogue is pretty funny.

[@LoganScott1117]

I think the Leviathan was the the evolution of the bosses in extraction. Nate “killed” the one in the sewers of the Ishimura, then another mass pursued him on the exterior of the ship before he sent it off again. Given how these masses work I’m assuming it latched onto food storage me that was the crash they heard. My theory is that it began in the sewers by collecting wasted organic material (gross) and the maintenance workers until it was flushed by Nate and the team. Then it picked up more bodies and material to grow again. After Nate spaced it and lost his arm, it would make sense for it to grow as big as it did if it infiltrated food storage. It would assimilate all the food and refugees there. Also I think the shuddering you mentioned was supposed to be the Ishimura descending into the atmosphere and then crashing through the debris field in the chapter after that.

[@c-money8702]

Great content as always.

[@TheBlazzer12]

I always thought of sleep like an mmo going down for maintenence or defragmenting your harddrive

[@MrHidePatten]

Since it’s heavily hinted that the Marker guided human evolution, it’s highly likely that it also influenced the Tau Valiantians. As part of the process they may have a similar “blueprint” by encouraging the proliferation of species, flora and fauna that would encourage oxygen based life.

[@Azuli-Studios]

The flood analogy does fit with my thought that the Flood and the Brethren Moons are near the same but have separate goals and a different source that would make them like two groups of humans. They MIGHT work together, but more likely they would fight.

[@johnaeryns5364]

Also, humans on average need to consume about 1% of their body weight daily to maintain themselves. Counting the surface colony food, and the food on the ishimura, you could absolutely account for the massive size of the leviathan and the grave mind.

[@opticalduck2587]

I think that the marker played two key roles when first being introduced to Earth 1. To allow for a species to be evolved in a certain way to allow them to reach a certain population threshold for convergence 2. To influence this species to have a certain amount of intelligence Since the brother moons are a species that can only increase its population by assimilating other species, it would require that species to have a certain level of intelligence. If the black marker is capable of creating the convergence event on its own, it wouldn't need an intelligent species to achieve this goal. It can reconstitute all matter on a planet to create a new brother moon, the only downside to this method is that it creates a "feral" moon as the reconstituted matter would primarily be normal animals whose intelligence is purely survival. We don't know how it would react to the other bother moons, but I would have a hunch that it wouldn't exactly know how to interact with its brothers.
