The effects on living beings exposed to this frequency vary. The Site 12 Marker on Titan Station, seemingly the largest Red Marker constructed by humanity. The signal also creates a dead space around the Marker that keeps the Necromorphs from approaching it, allowing it to protect living beings of interest to its plans by drawing them to its base, where they will be protected from the Necromorphs while their proximity to the Marker ensures that it can easily infect their minds and bend them to its will. Once all of the fragments of a Marker are destroyed, the signal will stop and all of the Necromorphs created will be destroyed, reduced to an inanimate sludge unless brought back into the range of another Marker. Even when a Marker is destroyed, unless utterly obliterated, the carrier wave will continue emitting from its shards. When activated, the copies emit a highly tuned frequency to their surroundings that, when coming into contact with dead organic tissue, is able to reanimate the cells, creating the Necromorphs. A visible difference, however, is the red hue which they carry, likely due to the use of bismuth, a type of metal used by intelligent civilizations to replace certain unknown elements of the Black Marker during duplication. Like all other Markers, their shape echoes the strands of a DNA helix and reflects the act of Convergence: two things entwined to become one.

In reality, the duplicate Markers merely propagate the spread of the Necromorph life form and its subsequent Convergence Event.īy design, the artificially-made Red Markers resemble their precursors and are identical in function. Red Markers are artificially-made native copies of an original Black Marker no matter the species, a Black Marker can influence any planet's given inhabitants (usually the apex/dominant species) to create duplicates of itself under the guise of limitless energy. Unaware of the manipulation, the inhabitants' reasoning for creating duplicates is usually the harvest of a natural resource for energy purposes. report Ī Red Marker pedestal on Aegis VII, used to amplify the signal of smaller Markers.

As the Red Markers were studied, it became clear they were receiving the signal they broadcast, rather than creating it themselves.' - S.C.A.F. Overview ' The Red Markers, sequestered safely away on distant star systems such as Aegis VII, Aspera and Proxima Centauri, among others, were themselves a mystery, as they were more grown than built.
