| The '''''Audacity''''' was a unique [[Forerunner]] ship originally constructed for the [[Librarian]]'s research mission to [[Path Kethona]] and later adopted by the Lifeshaper as her personal vessel. After her death, it became the vessel of [[IsoDidact|Bornstellar Makes Eternal Lasting]], the former IsoDidact.{{Ref/Twitter|Halo|1651984415642329089|Halo|Quote=SHIP DATABASE - AUDACITY A Forerunner vessel built for a specific purpose: to journey outside the galaxy into Path Kethona, the Large Magellanic Cloud, and discover the dire origins of the Flood. #FictionFriday|D=03|M=05|Y=2023}} | | The '''''Audacity''''' was a [[Forerunner]] ship. |

| ==History== | | ==History== |
| The ''Audacity'' was commissioned around [[98,395 BCE]] for a [[Lifeworker]]-led mission to the [[Magellanic Clouds|satellite galaxy]] of [[Path Kethona]] to explore the possible origins of the [[Flood]]. It was designed and constructed by the [[Builder]]s, with the challenges of its mission—namely, the unusually long [[Slipstream space|slipspace]] journey—in mind. The design and construction of the ship took ten years; approval from the Council for the mission took another ten. Over a million volunteered to be part of the ship's crew on the great expedition. Seven were chosen, including the Librarian herself, three Builders including one named [[Keeper-of-Tools]] and another known as [[Dawn-over-Fields]], a [[Miner]] named [[Clearance-of-Old-Forests]], and two Lifeworkers, [[Chant-to-Green]] and [[Birth-to-Light]]. Despite the Builders engineering the ship specifically for the mission, the journey was demanding for its occupants as well as the ecumene at large; despite ''Audacity'' crossing the intergalactic gulf in several jumps, the required causal reconciliations accrued significant space-time debt, slowing down slipspace travel across the galaxy and forcing the crew into stasis for portions of the journey.<ref name="s4">'''Halo: Silentium''', ''String 4, page 60-61''</ref> | | The ''Audacity'' was used by the Librarian to travel to [[Path Kethona]] to explore the possible origins of the [[Flood]].<ref>'''Halo: Silentium''', ''String 4, page 61''</ref> |
| | |
| Following the expedition, the Librarian appropriated the ship as her personal transport. In the final days of the [[Forerunner-Flood war]], she and the [[IsoDidact]] used the vessel to travel to the [[greater Ark]] after the [[Flood]] ravaged [[Nomdagro]], with the [[Ur-Didact]]'s flagship, ''[[Mantle's Approach]]'', following. When the Ur-Didact was preparing to process the [[human]] inhabitants of [[Omega Halo]] with the [[Composer]], the Librarian attempted to save them by taking the ''Audacity'' to the firing path of the Composer, but was pushed aside by a [[torsion field]] projected by the ''Mantle's Approach''.<ref>'''Halo: Silentium''', ''String 31''</ref> After the incident, the Librarian followed ''Mantle's Approach'' to [[Requiem]] aboard the ''Audacity'', intent on stopping the Ur-Didact's genocidal schemes by locking her husband in a [[Cryptum]]. The ''Audacity'' was allowed inside due to the Librarian's transponder codes and she succeeded in her plan.<ref name="s34">'''Halo: Silentium''', ''String 34''</ref>

| | |
| Afterwards, the Librarian used the ship to travel to [[Earth|Erde-Tyrene]] where she also spent her last days before the firing of the [[Halo Array]].{{Ref/Reuse|s34}} It was returned to the Ark by [[Chant-to-Green]] who used it to return at the Librarian's request.

| | |
| Over a century later, ''Audacity'' was one of the few ships the Forerunners had left aside from [[keyship]]s found on the Ark used in the [[reintroduction]]. ''Audacity'' was used by Bornstellar's team to [[Mission to Maethrillian|return to]] [[Maethrillian]] and retrieve two more ships for the Forerunners exodus from the galaxy, the [[slipspace flake]]s they needed for the ships and to restore the [[Domain]] through the [[Abaddon|Organon]]. When Abaddon revealed itself, it shut down ''Audacity'', but the ship's power was restored when [[Growth-Through-Trial-of-Change]] sacrificed herself to restore the Domain and Abaddon disappeared.<ref>'''[[Halo: Fractures]]''', "[[Promises to Keep]]"</ref>

| | |
| ''Audacity'' was kept by Bornstellar and Chant-to-Green who used it to settle on their new homeworld in another galaxy. After the two decided to give up technology for a simpler lifestyle, ''Audacity'' was left abandoned on a nearby mountain with their personal armor aboard. After being reminded of the [[Halo Array]] by a story he told [[Bornstellar's son|his son]], Bornstellar paid a brief visit to the long-abandoned ship and his old armor.<ref>'''[[Halo: Fractures]]''', "[[Untitled story (Halo: Fractures)|Untitled story]]"</ref>
