Much like our quandry about what to do with radioactive leftovers in the 21st century, the Marker's purpose was seemingly to cause unknown future discoverers to be wary of the Necromorph biomass: *The Marker likewise contains a message that 'We considered ourselves to be mighty,' in that they left a marker which withstood untold eons, long after there is no other trace of their civilization, and 'this frightens us, and it should frighten you.' They made their Marker forboding, in anyone's vision it's spiky, and most organic things find spikes (like thorns on plants and teeth or claws on animals) to be anathema. =Purpose and use= Though very little has been revealed directly about the original Black Marker, if it functions similarly to the Red Marker found on Aegis VII, then the purpose of the Marker seemed to be a warning - a warning sadly unheeded.
