When the Marines go to investigate, they find that, out of the 137 crew members of the O’Bannon, there are only four signs of life detected.

However, shortly after they were dispatched, the CEC also loses contact with the O’Bannon. Captain Campbell managed to sacrifice himself to seal the door manually and used a grenade made by Borges to blow up himself and a group of Necromorphs surrounding him.Plot: Three years before the events of Dead Space 2, the USG O’Bannon went to Aegis VII to collect shards of the marker that Isaac Clarke crashed into the surface. On their way to the reactor core, the debris from the planet caused a hull breach, damaging the outer door control for Engineering. There, Campbell asked Stross to explain what was happening on the ship and after learning that destroying the recovered Marker shard could stop the Necromorphs, Borges suggested that they should throw it into the reactor core in Engineering. Campbell, Kuttner, Cho and Stross fled into the vents and made it to Stross' lab where they met with Borges and two officers from the bridge. He, along with two security officers, were able to survive long enough to meet up with Stross, Isabel Cho and Nikolas Kuttner. However, as they made their escape into the vents, the Necromorphs overwhelmed the last of the security officers.

When Nolan Stross attempted to warn him about the Necromorph outbreak, Campbell was busy talking with Alejandro Borges concerning the ShockPoint Drive and they ignored Stross all together. However, not long after reaching Aegis VII, the landing crew encountered difficulty with the stabilizers overloading, forcing the landing crew to abandon the planet as it started to break up.Ĭampbell attempted to get the O'Bannon further away from the planet to get clear of the planet's gravity well to shock out, but he was too late as the ship was caught and the debris damaged much of the ship's systems including its ShockPoint Drive, leaving them stranded and at the mercy of the planetary debris. Campbell and his crew of the O'Bannon set out to Aegis VII to stabilize the planet and secretly recover any shards of Marker 3A.
