The '''''Audacity''''' was a unique [[Forerunner]] ship originally constructed for the [[Librarian]]'s research mission to [[Path Kethona]] and later adopted by the Lifeshaper as her personal vessel. | |||
==History== | |||
The ''Audacity'' was commissioned around [[98,395 BCE]] for a [[Lifeworker]]-led mission to the [[Magellanic Clouds|satellite galaxy]] of [[Path Kethona]] to explore the possible origins of the [[Flood]]. It was designed and constructed by the [[Builder]]s, with the challenges of its mission—namely, the unusually long [[Slipstream space|slipspace]] journey—in mind. The design and construction of the ship took ten years; approval from the Council for the mission took another ten. Over a million volunteered to be part of the ship's crew on the great expedition. Seven were chosen, including the Librarian herself, three Builders including one named [[Keeper-of-Tools]] and another known as [[Dawn-over-Fields]], a [[Miner]] named [[Clearance-of-Old-Forests]], and two Lifeworkers, [[Chant-to-Green]] and [[Birth-to-Light]]. Despite the Builders engineering the ship specifically for the mission, the journey was demanding for its occupants as well as the ecumene at large; despite ''Audacity'' crossing the intergalactic gulf in several jumps, the required causal reconciliations accrued significant space-time debt, slowing down slipspace travel across the galaxy and forcing the crew into stasis for portions of the journey.<ref name="s4">'''Halo: Silentium''', ''String 4, page 60-61''</ref> | |||
Following the expedition, the Librarian appropriated the ship as her personal transport. In the final days of the [[Forerunner-Flood war]], she and the [[IsoDidact]] used the vessel to travel to the [[greater Ark]] after the [[Flood]] ravaged [[Nomdagro]], with the [[Ur-Didact]]'s flagship, ''[[Mantle's Approach]]'', following. When the Ur-Didact was preparing to process the [[human]] inhabitants of [[Omega Halo]] with the [[Composer]], the Librarian attempted to save them by taking the ''Audacity'' to the firing path of the Composer, but was pushed aside by a [[torsion field]] projected by the ''Mantle's Approach''.<ref>'''Halo: Silentium''', ''String 31''</ref> After the incident, the Librarian followed ''Mantle's Approach'' to [[Requiem]] aboard the ''Audacity'', intent on stopping the Ur-Didact's genocidal schemes by locking her husband in a [[Cryptum]]. The ''Audacity'' was allowed inside due to the Librarian's transponder codes and she succeeded in her plan.<ref name="s34">'''Halo: Silentium''', ''String 34''</ref> | |||
Afterwards, the Librarian used the ship to travel to [[Earth|Erde-Tyrene]] where she also spent her last days before the firing of the [[Halo Array]].<ref name="s34"/> | |||
