Forerunner slipspace pods generate a [[timelock|time-locked]] [[Slipstream space|slipspace]] field in which the occupant is suspended, making them safe from nearly everything. They are visible via an afterimage seen within the pod, essentially a snapshot of the moment they "left" normal spacetime. Although the occupants are not located in real space, the physical casing of the pod allows them to be moved. Despite containing slipspace fields themselves, the pods can also be moved via slipspace transit, such as a [[teleportation grid]]. However, if placed on a [[teleporter|translocation pedestal]], a pod will effectively block transit through the teleporter. If a person comes too close to the pod they will develop nausea, and a feeling of light-headedness due to exposure of an unshielded slipspace field. | Forerunner slipspace pods generate a [[timelock|time-locked]] [[Slipstream space|slipspace]] field in which the occupant is suspended, making them safe from nearly everything.

On the sides of the pods there are Forerunner icons which Dr. [[Catherine Halsey]] translated into "That which must be protected...behind the sharpened edge of the [[Shield World 006|shield]]...beyond the reach of the [[Halo Array|swords]]...for the reclaimed". However, Dr. Halsey noted that her translation was off, and agreed with [[Ash-G099]] when he suggested that is was instead "[[Reclaimer]]s", when he brought up about his encounter with an [[Onyx Sentinel]]. This was not the first time the word has been misinterpreted this way, as the same mistake was made by the Covenant late in their history, in which [[Mendicant Bias|the "Oracle"]] residing within the [[Forerunner Dreadnought]] noted and corrected as "Reclaimers". | On the sides of the pods there are Forerunner icons which Dr. [[Catherine Halsey]] translated into "That which must be protected...behind the sharpened edge of the [[Shield World 006|shield]]...beyond the reach of the [[Halo Array|swords]]...for the reclaimed".
