Line 10:
Luckily (or not), a [[Distress Call]] managed to get sent, and a crew of (two) [[Space Marines]], led by Sergeant Zach Hammond, is sent to investigate. Along with him are two engineers, tasked with helping repair any damage done to the ''Ishimura'' that might have caused the distress call: systems engineer Kendra Daniels and [[The Engineer|mechanical/electronic engineer]] [[The Hero|Isaac]] [[Action Survivor|Clarke]]. Clarke also has a personal reason for undertaking the mission: his [[Damsel in Distress|girlfriend]] Nicole is part of the ''Ishimura'''s crew, and he fears for her safety.

* [[Red Herring]]: You lose contact with Hammond several times throughout the game with weird shit popping up during the interim, and Kendra thinks he knows more than he's letting on. {{spoiler|He doesn't, she's [[The Mole]] and keeps cutting off his communications. She's most likely accusing ''him'' of being a spy to avert any suspicion towards herself. "The lady doth protest too much" indeed}}.
