Dead Space 2

"In 2214, a geophysicist named Michael Altman made a discovery that would change history. Buried at the impact site of a crater near the Yucatán Peninsula, he uncovered a divine alien presence: the Marker. The Marker spoke to Altman and revealed a plan that would unify mankind and lead them to a bright, new future."

"By the millions, people flocked to hear more about the Marker and the unity it promised after Michael Altman told the world of his profound discovery. But there were those who felt threatened by Altman's message. On March 15th 2215, Altman was assassinated, and thus became the first martyr for the Church."

"Altman's followers mourned his death, but found divine solace in his message of unity. They would not allow the truth to be silenced, and formed the Church of Unitology to bring his teachings to the world."

"[Prayer] Praise Altman, chosen of the Marker, architect of the Church. For Altman is the way and the light. Through Convergence, we all become one. One mind, one being, one flesh. Divine ascension awaits the faithful. Beyond the flesh and through the Marker. Altman be praised."
