However, due to the no-fly order, the shuttle would likely have been shot down if it attempted to land there and Nathan's group encountered no evidence of such destruction. The most likely destination for the craft would have been the Ishimura. The status of this shuttle and those aboard is unknown, as it is never mentioned again. In the comics, when counting the number of evac shuttles, Marla Janssen mentions that one has already left.

Given how fast a necromorph outbreak can spread, even if all of the shuttles successfully evacuated, many colonists would have still been left behind and killed before a round trip could be made.Д«efore the crash, one shuttle is seen successfully taking off and leaving the colony. She also stated that a round trip between the colony and the Ishimura takes around thirty minutes. This indicates that there werenвЂ™t enough shuttles to evacuate everyone in the shuttle bay. In the ensuing struggle the pilot, co-pilot, and passenger losses control of the shuttle and crashes back down into the shuttle bay.ДЄdditionally, Marla was shocked to see only five shuttles left in the shuttle bay. Not wanting to go back down into the colony, a frightened passenger tries to take control of the shuttle, knocking out the pilot in the process. The pilot of the shuttle stated that the shuttle has too much weight to break orbit and needed to land and offload some people. The cause of the crash is revealed to be due to a combination of overcapacity in the shuttle and a fight breaking out in the cockpit. This incident is further expanded in the comics and the animated version unlocked in Dead Space: Extraction. In it, Abraham Neumann states the shuttle crash killed a couple hundred people. This incident is first mentioned in Dead Space in an audio log Colony Chaos.

As Nathan's group observed, one of the shuttles took off, only to nosedive and crash back into the remaining spacecraft, destroying them and killing untold numbers of colonists and security personnel. Gabe's group, after crossing this barrier, saw a number of these survivors lined up, waiting to be evacuated.Д«aines mentions that the situation is still very chaotic, and that security had to 'break a few noses' to prevent the colonists from overloading the shuttles and hindering the evacuation. Sam is eventually put down by Nathan McNeill.ДЄs the outbreak worsened, survivors erected a barricade to keep the Necromorphs and those afflicted with Marker dementia from entering Mission Square and the shuttle bays.

The enemies that Sam fights turn out to be innocent people, as he was also hallucinating. Sam Caldwell witnesses his fellow miners and engineers commit suicide or violently attack each other under the MarkerвЂ™s dementia effects this is a prelude to a Necromorph outbreak. There are technically no survivor encounters in Chapter One as a necromorph outbreak has yet to begin.
