Following the crash-landings of the {{UNSCShip|Forward Unto Dawn}} and {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} on the Forerunner [[shield world]] [[Requiem]], [[John-117]] encountered an [[mind transfer|imprint]] of the Librarian. Through her imprint, she was able to influence the [[Aggressor Sentinel]]s on Requiem, having them guide John to a place where she could contact him. She explained to John about the origins of the Human-Forerunner War and the Didact's decision to devolve humanity as a punishment. Only afterwards were the Forerunners made aware that the war with humanity was a result of mankind expanding - not out of conquest, but out of fear and necessity, as they were desperately attempting to halt a Flood outbreak which had spread beyond their own borders and into Forerunner-controlled space.{{Ref/Reuse|h4terminals}} | Following the crash-landings of the {{UNSCShip|Forward Unto Dawn}} and {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} on the Forerunner [[shield world]] [[Requiem]], [[John-117]] encountered an [[mind transfer|imprint]] of the Librarian.

The Librarian informed John of the Ur-Didact's plan to use a device called the [[Composer]] to forever imprison all of mankind into digital form. For him to be able to stand against the Didact, she must alter the Master Chief's genetic code, making him immune to the effects of the Composer, to which he agreed.

The Librarian told the Chief that he was the culmination of all her planning, what she was attempting to create with her actions. The Chief questioned her "Planning for what?" Before she could respond, they were interrupted by the Didact, and the Master Chief was forced to retreat, leaving the Librarian's cryptic warning unanswered.{{Ref/Reuse|reclaimer}} Thanks to the Librarian's actions, when the Didact used the Composer on [[Ivanoff Station]], the Master Chief survived to defeat him and destroy the weapon. | ||
