At the entrance of Processing, a log from Jacob Temple reveals that he met his girlfriend Elizabeth Cross but couldn't find a single space worthy vessel in the bay so the two are also looking for a beacon.

The Mining Sub Deck is offline according to Kendra so Isaac goes to the Processing Sub Deck while she tries to fix the problem however the elevator ride coincides with the arrival of several Necromorphs. Isaac passes through the RIG Room and calls an elevator in which a security officer dies of massive blood loss.

She also says that the beacon is located on the Maintenance Sub Deck and that the asteroid has to be launched from the Control Room (which is locked and can only be opened by an Emergency Access Key on the Processing Sub Deck).

Kendra tells him that there is an asteroid waiting to be smelted in the Mining Bay that he could attach the SOS beacon to and launch into space to make a clean broadcast. After defeating The Leviathan in Chapter 6: Environmental Hazard, Isaac arrives at the Mining bay with a new goal - send out a distress call.
