'''Lifeworkers''' were a [[rate]] in [[Forerunner]] society. | '''Lifeworkers''' were a [[rate]] in [[Forerunner]] society.<ref>'''[[Halo Waypoint]]''': ''[[Halo: Cryptum/Glossary|Halo: Cryptum Glossary]]''</ref> They specialized in all living things and medicine, including experimenting with new forms of life. Paradoxically, despite the ideological basis of the Forerunners' [[Mantle]] to protect all life, the Lifeworkers were rated rather low,<ref>'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 150''</ref> below [[Miner]]s but above [[Warrior-Servant]]s. The highest possible rank achievable by a Lifeworker was [[Lifeshaper]]. The most prominent Lifeworker was the [[Librarian]], a Lifeshaper and one of the most powerful Lifeworkers to have ever lived.<ref name="c17">'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''pages 16-17''</ref> | ||
The Lifeworkers were responsible for creating and maintaining the ecosystems on [[Installation 00]] and the [[Halo Array]], this being part of the [[Librarian]]'s pact with [[Faber]], the [[Master Builder]], providing a contingency plan for sentient species in the event the Halo rings were used. The ecosystems were used by the Lifeworkers to research, store and index species collected from numerous worlds across the galaxy in the [[Conservation Measure]].<ref>'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 334''</ref> For nine thousand years, after the end of the [[human-Forerunner wars]], [[Earth]], then called "Erde-Tyrene", was an experimental planet under the care of the Librarian, who ensured that [[human]]ity would recover from their forced regression and prepared them for their role as [[Reclaimer]]s with her ''[[geas]]''.<ref name="c17"/> | |||

Lifeworker [[form]]s were typically graceful and tall compared to other rates.<ref>'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 330''</ref> Some types of Lifeworker [[Forerunner personal armor|armor]] enabled floating as opposed to walking. This is seen quite prominently with the Librarian and her Lifeworkers on [[Omega Halo]]. | |||
