The Forerunners had developed a great deal of applications for the slipstream. These included the ability to create [[Slipspace bubble|bubble-like enclosures of slipstream space]], in which the flow of time could be manipulated or stopped altogether while keeping the contents of the bubble either visible or invisible in normal space. The Forerunners were also capable of containing these bubbles of alternate space-time within one another.<ref>''Halo: Glasslands'', p. 306, 311</ref> These bubbles could be used to store considerable masses and volumes in slipspace stably for thousands of years and potentially for all of time, and to transition matter from normal space to the inside of a construct in slipstream space without requiring the construct to transition back to normal space. The same technology was utilized in [[slipspace field pod]]s that were essentially a Forerunner equivalent of [[cryo-chamber]]s, effectively preserving a living organism inside a slipspace field. Slipspace bubbles were also employed in a type of Forerunner prison cell in which the passage of time could be manipulated so that a period of a billion years would pass inside the field, while only seconds had transpired in normal space.<ref>''Halo: Primordium'', p. 366</ref> | The Forerunners had developed a great deal of applications for the slipstream.
