After entering the Ishimura the group discovers the ship itself is infested with Necromorphs. As they attempt to move to the bridge, which they believe to be safer, they encounter Nicole Brennan in the medical bay who elects to stay behind in case anyone else arrives. The rest of the group continues on, but they soon fall into the sewage system, where Lexine is attacked by [[Swarmers]] and is pulled into a water tank; the group assumes she has died. Dr. Karen Howell discovers Lexine, who has somehow survived, and the two find McNeill, Eckhardt, and Weller. McNeill, Weller, and Lexine continue on while Howell attempts to shut down the sewerage system, guarded by Eckhardt, but Howell is soon killed by a Necromorph tentacle due to Eckhardt fleeing and locking the door behind him. When he finds the others, Eckhardt lies, saying Howell died fighting off a swarm of Necromorphs.

In order to search for a shuttle to get off the Ishimura, McNeill and Lexine split up from Weller and Eckhardt to search multiple shuttle bays. Weller and Eckhardt find a shuttle, but Weller catches Eckhardt finishing a recording of a message to a member of the Church of [[Unitology]]. Weller watches the message; Eckhardt says that he was sent to find a person who was immune to the effects of the Marker, and who could protect others from its effects as well, and he believes that Lexine is that person. After Weller is done watching the message, Eckhardt shoots Weller and tells him of his plans, only to be killed by a [[Leaper]] while his back is turned. McNeill and Lexine find Weller, and escape on the shuttle right after McNeill shuts down the power to the cannons on the ''Ishimura'' that were preventing them from leaving, although he had to cut off his arm in the process after a monster's quill pinned it to the floor. As they escape, they hear a transmission from the [[USG Kellion|USG ''Kellion'']]. Lexine tries to warn them away, but they do not receive the message.

Lexine tries to warn them away, but they do not receive the message and the USG Kellion enters the Ishimura and the 1st game begins.
In the epilogue, Lexine is shown being attacked from behind by a Necromorph. There has been official confirmation that this Slasher is indeed the infected corpse of P-Sec officer Nathan McNeill<ref group="note">''The in-game footage is unclear, as the last scene of ''Extraction'' simply depicts a Necromorph attacking a lone Lexine. However, Dead Space Executive Producer Steve Papoutsis [http://www.formspring.me/leveluptime/q/181545483779473218 clarified] [http://www.formspring.me/leveluptime/q/174720061683044790 McNeill's fate] while answering some fan questions. In addition, there is no mention of McNeil whatsoever in the [[Dead Space 2: Severed|Severed]] DLC.''</ref>.

A new item, the Glow Worm, provides illumination for a limited time, and is activated by shaking the controller. When the game is played with a standard DualShock 3 on the PlayStation 3, all control inputs are appointed to buttons, (with the exception of the Glow Worm). On Nintendo Wii, audio logs play through the Wii Remote's speaker. ''Extraction'' also has some features more akin to adventure games, such as puzzles and branching pathways.
