The team used the information stored in the minds of Isaac Clarke, Nolan Stross and at least three others (Clarke and Stross were called Patient Four and Patient Five, respectively) suffering from mental illness from a Marker's signal as the basis for their research. Many details regarding the construction process remain a mystery, but various logs suggested that the Marker was "grown" from mineral printing baths layer by layer, using heuristic algorithms as blueprints.

The Site 12 Marker was built by a team of scientists and engineers stationed on Titan Station under the orders of Director Tiedemann during Project Telomere. The Marker-touched parts of Isaac's brain are stimulated through the NoonTech Diagnostic Machine. I spent years sifting through your demented brain!" - Hans Tiedemann to Isaac Clarke about the Marker's creation. History Construction " I knew you were trouble from the start, but they told me you were necessary.
