A Cryptum was discovered in [[Djamonkin Crater]] on [[Earth|Erde-Tyrene]] by the young Forerunner [[IsoDidact|Bornstellar Makes Eternal Lasting]], containing the meditating [[Ur-Didact|Didact]]. The Cryptum vessel, colored copper and steel, was ovoid-shaped, over ten meters high and at least as wide. The millennial seal of the Cryptum was said to be reinforced by two forces; the "wisdom of Harbou" and the "strength of Lang".{{Ref/Reuse|c61}}{{Ref/ | A Cryptum was discovered in [[Djamonkin Crater]] on [[Earth|Erde-Tyrene]] by the young Forerunner [[IsoDidact|Bornstellar Makes Eternal Lasting]], containing the meditating [[Ur-Didact|Didact]].

As the Cryptum opened, it parted outward in three sections above the middle, revealing its meditating occupant inside.<ref>'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 62-64''</ref> | ||
While the Cryptum preserved the consciousness of the Forerunner inside for an indefinite period, the occupant's physical body would be maintained in a vitrified state, lacking most of its fluids. The desiccation process was conducted prior to entry in a Cryptum by ingesting ''inchukoa''.{{Ref/Reuse|s50}} Once the Forerunner was removed from the Cryptum, the body would be administered an initial supply of electrolytes, nutrients and other essential substances and then placed in a restorative bath where it would continue its recovery. The body's muscle structure would then be regenerated, a process requiring several days. | While the Cryptum preserved the consciousness of the Forerunner inside for an indefinite period, the occupant's physical body would be maintained in a vitrified state, lacking most of its fluids.
