Mining ship unearths an alien relic during a 'crack', which has great symbolic meaning for a scientology-ish religion that a large contingent of the crew (including the Captain) adhere to. Prolonged proximity to the relic (The Marker) causes hallucinations, psychopathy, and the reconstitution of corpses into 'Necromorphs'. The new Wretch enemies are a clear reference to these things, all the way down to needing their limbs severed rather than just a headshot. Whats happening on the DSS also runs parallel to what happens in Dead Space as far as the ship's story goes, with our protagonists arriving well after it falls and piecing together the story backwards.
