During her stewardship of [[Earth]] and the [[Erde-Tyrene civilization|remains of humanity]], the [[Librarian]] imposed a geas upon various humans at birth; they later recalled the experience as her physically visiting them, but in reality she used an automated imprinting system of "beacons" to broadcast the geas remotely.<ref>'''Halo: Primordium''', ''page 374''</ref> Humans who were part of the Librarian's "special population" on Earth were used as living archives,<ref>'''Halo: Primordium''', ''page 45''</ref> with their geas containing [[Mind transfer|extracted personalities]] and memories of their ancestors who had fought in the [[ | During her stewardship of [[Earth]] and the [[Erde-Tyrene civilization|remains of humanity]], the [[Librarian]] imposed a geas upon various humans at birth; they later recalled the experience as her physically visiting them, but in reality she used an automated imprinting system of "beacons" to broadcast the geas remotely.<ref>'''Halo: Primordium''', ''page 374''</ref> Humans who were part of the Librarian's "special population" on Earth were used as living archives,<ref>'''Halo: Primordium''', ''page 45''</ref> with their geas containing [[Mind transfer|extracted personalities]] and memories of their ancestors who had fought in the [[Human-Forerunner wars]]. These memories required specific triggers in order to awaken within the carrier individual; for example, the ancestral memories of [[Chakas]] and [[Riser]] surfaced after they traveled to [[Charum Hakkor]], once the heart of the [[Prehistoric human civilization|human empire]].<ref>'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 121''</ref><ref>'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 341''</ref> Once active, an archived personality — or "essence" — could effectively exist as a fully aware consciousness alongside the carrier's own mind, even temporarily take control of their physical body.<ref>'''Halo: Primordium''', ''page 226''</ref> The memories of the archived individual often manifested themselves in the carrier's dreams,<ref>'''Halo: Primordium''', ''page 128-129''</ref> and encompassed specific knowledge the archived individual may have had on subjects such as physics, engineering and mathematics.<ref>'''Halo: Primordium''', ''page 44''</ref> | ||
The geas she imposed on various humans played a crucial part in the Librarian's elaborate plan to reunite with her husband, the [[Ur-Didact|Didact]]. Riser's ancestors were imprinted with a drive to pass the defenses surrounding the Didact's [[Cryptum]] in the [[Djamonkin Crater]] and create a safe path through the various traps that surrounded it. Riser himself was instructed by his geas to seek out young [[Human|ha''manush'']] and find them work; this resulted in him meeting and befriending a ha''manune'' known as [[Chakas]].<ref>'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 55''</ref> Both also began to have dreams of a young Forerunner visiting them in search of treasure,<ref>'''Halo: Primordium''', ''page 31-32''</ref> which soon became a reality as a [[Manipular]] called [[Bornstellar Makes Eternal Lasting]], who had been manipulated by an [[ancilla]] secretly assigned to him by the Librarian, came to enlist the humans' guidance in finding [[Precursor]] relics. Chakas and Riser led the Manipular to the Djamonkin Crater, where the sight of the Didact's Cryptum triggered preprogrammed songs which served as verbal codes to activate the Cryptum.<ref>'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 55''</ref> | The geas she imposed on various humans played a crucial part in the Librarian's elaborate plan to reunite with her husband, the [[Ur-Didact|Didact]].

In [[2557]], the former [[Monitor]] [[343 Guilty Spark]], who was once [[Chakas]], sought to bring back his friends [[Riser]] and [[Vinnevra]] by accessing the [[Domain]] and having the Librarian use ''geas'' to bring them back in the body of modern humans. During [[Mission to Mount Kilimanjaro|his encounter]] with a personality imprint of the Librarian beneath [[Mount Kilimanjaro]], Spark was reminded of his own experiences with the essence of [[Forthencho]] and how hard it was upon him. The Librarian refused to apologize for her actions as she felt that they were necessary for the greater good. The Librarian told Spark that his friends were at peace and their gene song quiet. She instead helped him to see the friends that Spark had found amongst the ''[[Ace of Spades]]'' crew. Spark later admitted his plan to [[Rion Forge]] to access the Domain and use it to bring back his friends as ''geas'' or to join them before he had changed his mind.<ref>'''[[Halo: Renegades]]'''</ref> | |||
