Dead Space: Dark Secrets
"Have you ever wondered, wondered why things happen to you and why you must be chosen for those events? I always believed that it was just coincidence but not after egis 7…that's why coincidence became fate for me. My name is Isaac Clark and I am the sole survivor of the attack on the Ishimura. I lost my wife, fought through a hellish nightmare, and barely walked away with my life. Its been 3 years since that horror and I still have not recovered, I have seen…horrible dreams…hallucinations, and…I see my wife at moments telling me things I do not wish to hear." Isaac sat at his station as he looked at his fusing gun as though he was staring past someone gave him a slight nudge.
"Hey Isaac…are you okay?" A woman asked as she stood behind him. Her uniform was grade C, She was a networks repair member, no one to special. Isaac snapped out of his trans and looked up at her. "Y-Yeah Ashley…I'm still having nightmares about the ishimura, the doctor says that its because I can't let the fact go that I left the marker on the planet but I am no unitologist. That thing was a curse more than a holy relic." Isaac sat up and continued welding the armor plating together.
"I know you miss her…we all do, she was a great doctor and a great wife, but its been three years, you should let her go and continue your life." Ashley said with a gentle smile. "Come with me and the team to the bar tonight. Try to have some fun, maybe it'll help you." She added as she sat down next to Isaac. "I dunno…" Isaac said as he set the plating aside. "It'll be on me okay?" She said as she hugged Isaac. "We need out Chief back so pull it together please." Ashley said as she walked off.
"Maybe she is right Isaac said to himself looking around. His crew were building more ships, drones, carriers engines, every type really. The worst for Isaac was that they were making a new planet cracker, one that was suppose bring a new era to the mining planets. The crew knew his problems even though the church forced Isaac to remain silent about the matter so they never let Isaac near the project knowing it might be the best thing for him.
Isaac grabbed another welding rod and as he loaded it into his welding gun the flashback began to reemerge. Images of him stomping the necromorphed crew of ishimura flooded his memories when he ran out of pulse rifle rounds and had no time to reload. He held his head and scared. "MAKE IT STOP!! MAKE IT STOP!!" Isaac shouted as tears flowed rapidly down his face. Ashley ran to him quickly and grabbed the welding gun from him. More crew members ran to him to hold him still.
"Chief calm down! Hold it together! They aren't here, your just having a flashback!" Men said to him as he stopped struggling. He sweated furiously as he panted crying more. "I wish It'd just stop…I can't take this anymore…" He said weak as he was released he sat back in the chair.
"Go home chief…you need rest. We know what needs to be finished today, we'll get it done." A young wiring officer said to him as he put his hand on Isaacs shoulder. "Thank you Daniel, I'll leave the rest to you all. I'm sorry." Isaac said as he walked out. "Its not your fault chief." Ashley replied as the door shut behind Isaac.
