At one point after the Didact went into exile in a [[Cryptum]], the Librarian devised a complex plan to bring her husband back. She imposed a [[geas]] on certain humans, causing multiple generations to attempt to pass the defenses surrounding the Cryptum. Finally, she used an ancilla to manipulate [[Bornstellar Makes Eternal Lasting]], a [[Manipular]], to go to Earth in search for treasure and open the Cryptum. While the original body of the Didact was executed by the [[Faber|Master Builder]] some time afterward, he had performed a [[Forerunner mutation|mutation]] to Bornstellar and thus imprinted Bornstellar with his consciousness.

At some point, the Librarian traveled to the [[San 'Shyuum]] world [[Janjur Qom]] to gather specimens of their species for storage. The Librarian's visit caused unrest among the San 'Shyuum, who began an uprising against the Forerunners soon after. The Librarian then traveled to [[Installation 00]], where she later met with Bornstellar Makes Eternal Lasting, now in possession of the Didact's memories and personality.

===Forerunner-Flood ~~War~~===

===Forerunner-Flood war===

Before and during the [[Forerunner-Flood ~~War~~]], the Librarian traveled across the [[Milky Way galaxy]] at considerable risk to implement the [[Conservation Measure]] - the [[Lifeworker]]s' plan to protect all sentient beings from being absorbed into ~~the~~ [[Flood]] by sending them to the shelter of [[the Ark]]. She disregarded repeated pleas from the Didact to return to the safety of the [[Maginot Line]], considering her work as being much more important than her own life.

The Librarian spent the last days of her life building, then deactivating and burying the portal on Earth leading to the Ark. The Librarian's destruction of the remaining [[Keyship]]s left her stranded on Earth.<ref>"I've remotely destroyed our Keyships. A security measure. Without them I cannot reach the Ark." (Halo 3, Terminal Four)</ref> The Librarian spent her last days near [[Mount Kilimanjaro]], overlooking the [[portal]] to [[Installation 00|the Ark]].<ref>"You should see the mountain that watches over it. A beautiful thing - a snowcapped sentinel. That's where I will spend what time is left to me." (Halo 3, Terminal Six)</ref>

===~~Post Forerunner-Flood War~~===

===Survival===

~~At first it was believed~~ that ~~the Librarian~~ died ~~on Earth~~ as ~~she suggested in~~ the ~~Terminal~~, ~~but it is revealed~~ that she survived. ~~It is unknown what she did after the war. Sometime~~ after the Human-Covenant War, a duplicate of [[343 Guilty Spark]] uploaded his mind into a ONI ship and set a course to the Librarian's location.

Though Forerunner terminal logs suggest that she died as the Halo effect swept over Earth, [[343 Guilty Spark]] had information that suggested she had in fact survived in some form. Some time after the [[Human-Covenant War]], a duplicate of [[343 Guilty Spark]] uploaded his mind into an ONI ship and set a course to the Librarian's apparent location.<ref>'''Halo: Primordium''', ''page ??''</ref>
