'''Geas''' was an archaic [[Forerunner]] term, meaning '''genetic command''', that referred to a generations-long genetic command imposed on an organism or species. Through the use of a geas, an organism could be given a set of subconscious orders that would be passed on to their children, in some cases lasting several generations. Only highly skilled Forerunner [[Lifeworker]]s were capable of creating a geas.
