Nicole's Farewell

Type: Video Characters: Nicole Brennan Chapter: 12 Can be found: Story related log, given to you by Kendra after returning the Marker. Transcript: Nicole: Isaac, it's me. I wish I could talk to you. I'm sorry...I'm sorry about everything. I wish I could just talk to someone...it's all falling apart here; I can't believe what's happening. It's strange...such a little thing. In the end, it all comes down to just one little thing... Nicole: I didn't want it to end like this. I really wanted to see you again...just once. I loved you. I've always loved you.

About

• This was the last log that you would get in the game. Isaac watched this same log earlier (When the USG Kellion was still approaching the Ishimura), but was interrupted before he could finish.
• This log and Impact are the only logs that Isaac ever physically reacted to while watching. As Nicole injected herself, Isaac sadly covered his face with his hand, not able to watch her final moments.
  • According to numerous scenes in Dead Space 2, by the time of Chapter 12, Isaac was already sure that Nicole was dead. Even before Kendra showed him the full video, he was just keeping himself in denial. In retrospect, this makes his reaction even more significative.
• When this video log is watched for the first time, a background track specific for the scene will play. Notoriously, said background music is very different from the rest of the game's soundtrack (being dramatic tune rather than terrific) and even was included separetely in the official Original Soundtrack release, dubbed "Nicole's Farewell".
• McNeill and Lexine watched the video during Chapter 9: Escaping the Ishimura, but could not inform her that they found a shuttle due to the fact that it was a one-way transmission.
