Citadel Charum: Difference between revisions

As the final planetary defenses collapsed and their defeat became inevitable, the last surviving humans gathered in the Citadel on Charum Hakkor. One by one, the wounded, the dying, and the captured were laid out on rows upon hundreds of rows of beds inside the citadel. In an attempt to conceal their identities and ranks from the [[Forerunners]], the Admiralty had stripped off their uniforms. Despite this, the [[Ur-Didact|Didact]] was able to identify his greatest opponent, [[Forthencho]], the Lord of Admirals.<ref>'''Halo: Primordium''', ''page 233-234''</ref> Furious at humanity, the [[Ecumene Council|Old Council]] - mainly comprised of [[Builder]]s - had originally ordered the complete annihilation of the human race despite being convinced that they knew of a cure against the [[Flood]].<ref>'''Halo: Silentium''', ''page 37''</ref> The [[Librarian]] became convinced that humanity and their culture needed be spared, as this might be the only way for the Forerunners to decipher their apparent Flood immunity. The Council then tasked the Librarian and her [[Lifeworker]]s to extract the essences of the human survivors on Charum Hakkor, refusing to provide anything other than [[Composer]]s as a means to accomplish this. Inside the citadel, the Librarian and her Lifeworkers walked among the human survivors providing relief before their imminent composition. Forthencho, [[Yprin Yprikushma]], the Admiralty, and their children and families were then processed by the Composers, killing their physical selves but storing their memories and consciousnesses.<ref>'''Halo: Silentium''', ''page 39-41''</ref>
