Geas: Difference between revisions

The Librarian also imposed a broader ''geas'' on the entire human race, which has affected them a great deal throughout their history following the activation of the [[Halo Array]].

It was indicated she did more than this, saying she was going to advance his evolution by activating his ''geas'', telling him she had left humanity many gifts, of which the Composer immunity was only one. The Librarian also said that the Master Chief's evolution through this ''geas'' was the result of a "thousand lifetimes of planning," but never got to tell him exactly what she was planning for.{{Ref/Reuse|reclaimer}}
