==Background==

While the Cryptum preserved the consciousness of the Forerunner inside for an indefinite period, the Forerunner's physical body would still deteriorate, albeit at a significantly reduced rate~~, in a process similar to natural mummification~~. The body would shrivel and lose most of its fluids. Once the Forerunner was removed from the Cryptum, the body would be placed in a restorative bath, and the body's supply of electrolytes, nutrients and other ~~essentials~~ was thereby replenished. The body's muscle structure would then be regenerated, a process requiring several days.
