What's up guys, Diamond here bringing you another chapter of this story. I am making this after the previous chapter because I just can't wait to write it. I am glad to be making this story and having fun while making it. I do intend to make some things hilarious in this, as well as try to be as fucked up as possible since this is Dead Space. So, expect me to be all over the place with this story. I will also be trying to go back to different POVs from now on. I kind of like how I have things going. Anyway, back to the story.
Chapter 2: Next stop: Necromorphs, explosives, and portals?
Diamond POV
I awoke to Isaac and Bill talking shop. "I mean if we can upgrade the internals on you Plasma Cutter we can make it fire faster, use less energy, and make it faster to reload." Isaac said to Bill. "Yes, but we also have to consider that there is a major possibility that we could break it if we don't know what we're doing." Bill said to Isaac. "Well, we could ask my little brother then. He made this weapon himself after all, and he also has an upgraded Plasma Cutter. I know he always tinkered with things when he was a kid." Isaac said to Bill. Bill seemed to contemplate it. "You think he would?" Bill asked, unsure if I would. "Of course I would. You need everything you can get to survive here." I said, slightly startling Isaac and Bill. "Oh, thanks." Bill said as both seem kinda embarrassed that they were talking about me when I was awake. I then noticed someone in a black suit sitting in a corner of the tram, he looked to be watching Bill and Isaac with a smile on his face.
"Hey, who are you?" I asked the guy in the suit, which caused Isaac and Bill to look in surprise at him. "You already know me Jeremy, but we never met until now. By the way, nice job in saving Bill. The other dimensions have never done that, you are the first that I know of." The man said, looking at Bill. "What do you mean I never have been saved before in other dimensions?" Bill asked the man. "Jeremy how do you know this man?" Isaac asked, even though I can't place my finger on it. "Do you want me to tell them about you or should you do it Jeremy?" The man said to me directly. "Advisor?" I asked the man in front of me. "Yep, nice to finally meet you Jeremy." The Advisor said to me. "Wait what does he mean tell us about you?" Isaac said to me. "Well, we're in a video game. Bill usually dies at the beginning without being able to be saved when you usually get the Plasma Cutter Isaac. And I was never in the game. But you guys are as real as I am, and I do have memories from this universe. So Isaac, don't think I'm not your little brother because I am. After all, I'm glad to be your brother." I explained to Isaac and Bill. "Damn, didn't think you would do it. Now I owe the Advocate in the Titanfall Universe $20." The Advisor said to himself. "Wait, how many games are there of me?" Isaac asked me. "Three games, Dead Space 1, 2, and 3. And you're normally alone in them." I said to Isaac.
Everything was silent as I dropped the biggest bombshell ever on both my brother and Bill. I know that it probably wasn't a good idea to tell them, but I had to do it. "So, you don't exist…" Isaac said in disbelief. "I do exist, that and you never had a brother that I knew of. So hey, you can look at the plus side." I said trying to be optimistic. "What plus side?" Isaac asked. "You have a little brother that can warn you about stuff and avoid other stuff, as well as you won't have to go through hell alone anymore. I'll be by you no matter what." I said, now thoroughly raising his spirits. He seemed back to his old self again, and I looked at Bill who seemed a little distant at the fact that he was supposed to die when we rescued him. "Hey Bill, just know that you're my friend now. And I'll be damned if I leave or let you die on me." I said as I got his attention. It seemed to do the trick since he was cheered up at what I said. "Wow, I knew you were the right choice for this, but damn. I didn't know you could both drop a bombshell on someone and cheer them up right after. But I need to go, just know that you have my contact info if you want to call. Other than that, I'll see you at the end of the line Jeremy." The Advisor said to me as he suddenly disappeared. Literally disappeared, no smoke or anything. I will have to worry about him later. Now I need to continue with chapter 2 in the game. I thought to myself as the tram was nearing its' stop. We get off the tram and are now in the medical bay of the ship. We go into the first room to find a woman who is near death but still holding on. "You are here for the Captain?" The woman asked us. "Yes, we are. Do you know where he is?" I asked the woman. I also noticed that she was clutching a bloody torso. "Micoy here said that you would come and to give two of you a kinesis module." She said before handing me the kinesis modules. "Now, I can leave with Micoy." The woman said before she flatlined.
I then passed out both kinesis modules to Isaac and Bill. "I knew that woman, she became a nurse due to her husband getting in a mining accident and later dying in a hospital. His name was Micoy, I guess she thought that was him." Bill informed us. "Damn, that's sad." Isaac said after Bill finished. "No, she actually saw him. The Markers tend to let you see those closest to you for numerous reasons, whether it be those apparitions warning you about the Markers or the other way around. They also can cause mass suicides and major riots with people killing each other. And they control the Necromorphs." I informed them about what Markers can do. "A what?" Isaac asked confused. "Wait, that giant rock is behind all of this?" Bill asked me, which I confirmed with a nod. "Shit…" Was all both Isaac and Bill said at the same time. We moved further down the hall when I picked up the flamethrower schematic. "Here, in case you guys want to buy it at the store." I said throwing the schematic to my brother. We later came upon a room with a store and workbench. "Hey Bill, can I see your Plasma Cutter for a bit. Both you and Isaac should upgrade your suits." I said to Bill. He threw me his Plasma Cutter and went to the store, while I went to the workbench to upgrade his firepower. Another thing I noticed about my safe is that I have all the parts and circuits from DS3. I decided to put a few +2 Damage +2 Clip circuits on his Plasma Cutter and put a Stasis Bath (I believe it's called that, I don't remember) and Ammo Magnet on it. I also decided to put a little spray on it saying 'PROPERTY OF BILL THE DESTROYER' just to have something to lighten the mood. I saw Bill step out of the store with his armor upgraded and smiling a little bit. "Hey Bill, catch!" I yelled to him throwing him his Plasma Cutter. He caught it while looking at his now upgraded Plasma Cutter until he noticed the little spray I put on it, to which he started laughing his ass off. Isaac was confused for a little bit 'til he saw what was sprayed on it and chuckled a little bit. We then tried to head to the med bay but realized that the door was blocked by a barrier. "Alright, we need a thermite bomb to blow a hole in the barrier to get to the Captain and get his RIG." I explained to them. "Wait, why do we need the Captain's RIG?" Bill asked, and Isaac nodded in agreement. And not a second later Zach came on explaining that he needs the Captain's RIG and why he needs it. "That answer your question?" I asked being a smartass.
We then moved on coming to a malfunctioning door that we stasis'd to get through, luckily there was a stasis recharge station right next to us. I also had plenty of the mini stasis recharge packs, as well as medkits and ammo for my guns. I also figured out that my suit has a built-in ammo converter so that I don't have to constantly look for a specific kind of ammo. As we entered a large room on the second floor and a door on the other side across from us. As soon as we all stepped in shutters went and blocked all doors in the room with it going dark. A yellow klaxon light came on and a voice had said there was contamination in the room. We quickly dealt with the hoard of Necromorphs with me using my highly customized Pulse Rifle to keep them at a distance, Bill using his upgraded Plasma Cutter to chop off limbs left and right, and my brother using my Shot Rifle to just overall turn them to paste from a distance. It only lasted a minute at most, but we all went through a few ammo packs. I checked my storage through a holoscreen from my RIG. The thing I figured out about the holoscreens from the RIG is that only the user can see them unless the user enables a certain screen to be viewed by others. I found that I had plenty of ammunition, but I didn't know about the others. We moved on and got the thermite chemicals and headed back to the makeshift barricade. "Wait a second, can't we just all focus our Kinesis modules on it and just move it out of the way?" I asked not only to my brother and Bill, but to Zach as well. "I guess that would work, but you would also need to pull it apart. It would also save you time as well. So go for it guys." Zach said over the comms. Me, Isaac, and Bill then started to pull the makeshift barricade away from the door before we started to pull it apart. We successfully pulled it apart and made our way inside the med bay to head to where the Captain's RIG was supposed to be, and we found his body. Just as an infector had infected it and turned his body into an Enhanced Slasher. "Hey guys, that's an E-Slasher." I said to Bill and my brother, who looked at what the Captain had become. "E-Slasher?" My brother asked, with both him and Bill confused at what I called it. "It's an enhanced version of a Slasher Necromorph, meaning two times stronger and two times tougher to kill." I explained to them. They then nodded in understanding from what I said. "But don't worry, we have simply overpowered weapons with us." I said to calm down their anxiety.
"You know that you are going to have to explain each necromorph to us, right." Isaac said to me. "Yeah, I know. I was actually planning on it." I said to them both. And as I finished saying that the E-Slasher came out of a vent where we were pointing our weapons. The thing didn't last long to the combined fire of our weapons. It only lasted seconds before we had fully cut off all of its' limbs. I then went up to the corpse of the E-Slasher and ripped its' RIG off its' back with a loud tearing sound. After that we were making our way to the tram, and then I had realized something. We haven't run into Doctor Mercer yet. I guess we'll cross that bridge when we get to it, at least we don't have to deal with a Hunter right now. I thought to myself. We made it to the tram in a few minutes due to the necromorphs in our way. I could tell that my brother and Bill were having trouble with ammunition, I'm going to have to see if I can upgrade their RIGs to have the ammo converter that mine does. As we made it back to the tram we started to get comfortable since it seemed that the ride from here to the Control Room is thirty minutes, but right before we left we got a call on our RIGs. "Hello? Isaac, Jeremy, Bill do you guys read me?" The voice of Kendra Daniels came through the voice channel. "We read you Kendra, what do you need?" I asked the woman, who I knew where she is and that she is probably trying to stop communications between us and Hammond. "Do you guys know about Hammond, we got split up and now I'm barricaded in the ships computer core. I don't know if he made it." Kendra said in a way that made it seem like she cared, but I knew otherwise. "Yeah, he made it. He is doing good, but what about you? There is probably a lot of vents in there to keep the place cool, so if you just barricaded the door then how are the Necromorphs not getting to you?" I asked her, to which I heard her scoff a bit before she answered. "I don't know, but I hear them outside. I'll try to see if I can contact Hammond." Kendra answered in a VERY annoyed tone. I smirked underneath my helmet as I could tell that Isaac and Bill looked at me confused. "You'll figure out later. Now time to give you guys a lesson on Necromorphs." I said as I then started giving them an explanation on each necromorph and explained all their weak points. "And finally, there's the Hunter necromorph. DO NOT, and I repeat DO NOT stay in one place with these. They can only be killed by being incinerated or by being frozen. They will also regrow cut off or damaged limbs. Any questions?" I asked to the both of them as I looked at their now helmetless faces. They looked extremely shocked, and considering all the info I dropped on them, I would be too. "When were we supposed to meet the Hunter?" My brother asked me. "We were supposed to meet him with Dr. Mercer in the med bay, but they weren't there. So, I don't know now." I said to the both of them. "It also looks like we're at the Control Room tram station. Do any of you have any other questions?" I asked them both.
They both shook their heads and put on their helmets. I can definitely tell this is going to be WAY different from the game. But, I'll just have to make due.
Hey guys Diamond here. I am glad that people are following and favoriting my story and I hope you guys enjoy it. I didn't include Dr. Mercer in this chapter because I honestly forgot to add him in, but now I can change how things go from that. I could make Mercer less crazy and more sane and willing to help, or I could make him even crazier and have him make twenty Hunters for our heroes to deal with. I don't know, but I'm getting excited because of it. So many possibilities, I could just make him not appear at all but I won't. Because in Dead Space, the hero gets screwed over extremely because the universe hates them and gives them the middle finger. Anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter!
Diamond out.
