During the campaign of Halo 4 the Librarian appears to the Master Chief as a holographic AI/ memory deposit of her old self. I was just thinking that since she played an important role in the story for both the main campaign and Spartan Ops, that she must make another appearance in the Reclaimer Saga. Since she is pretty much an AI in the Forerunner network she must have remnants of herself on other instillations.
It got me thinking that during the Halo 5 campaign, Master Chief will be looking for Halsey to get the other half of the Janus Key. After using the Key, he will learn the location of the Ancient Forerunner Capital described in Greg Bears Halo Silentium. What is left of the capital would of been drifting in space for hundreds of thousands of years and in the drifting ruins of the structure Chief would be looking for the Forerunner Domain Central computer that has something to do with the Librarian, Cortana, the Flood and the Didact.
Also, When the Librarian accelerated Chiefs evolution and the Didact’s voice was in his head, does anyone else think that the Master Chief now has a telepathic Forerunner link? And that he could use this link to interact with Forerunner structures and activate them, unlock doors and even send his mind into the domain to find Cortana?
Hope you enjoyed reading, Please share your thoughts
Firstly the Domain, or Organon by origin, was a Precursor bank of knowledge, and like most Precursor artifacts and technology, the Domain revolved around nueral physics. The Domain is meta-physical, as in it doesn’t have a physical form in real-space, but is tied directly into the fabric of space itself. The Domain is in-fact better described as a living being with a consciousness, rather than computer or hard drive. The Domain also has the ability to pick and choose the knowledge it perceives to the users.
And the Librarian Ancilla, is an Imprint of the Librarian. It was only known to be on Requiem to assist Humanity and the Ur-Didact. After the Didact’s meditation, She would have given him the Janus Key to allow him to spearhead Humanity’s technology, and assist them with inheriting the Mantle Of Responsibility, thus fore-filling their anointed roles, the Reclaimers.
As far as future titles of the Reclaimer Saga… yes I do believe the Librarian will have an important role, but it will be an indirect role, nothing upfront… as she was killed on Erde-Tyrene… Earth… during the closing of the Flood-Forerunner War. She would most likely be referenced to by perhaps the Ur-Didact, Iso-Didact, the Lifeshaper, 05-032 Mendicant Bias, Offensive Bias and 343 Guilty Spark… and perhaps have scattered left over journal messages… like in Halo 3 Terminals.
It is actually interesting to note that sometimes, when the Chief heard the Didact speaking to him, Cortana couldn’t.
Just a little info to back you up!
However, the rest I would say is the same as the fellow above me!

What I remember from the ending of Silentium was that the Librarian appointed another lifeworker to Librarian. It could be the Librarian Guilty Spark is looking for. However, didn’t the Librarian at the closing of the book think of a place where she should be?
For some reason I can’t get google working now when I need it, but as far as I’m concerned, the true fate of the Librarian, the original, was never revealed. She may still be alive.

She was on Earth when the Halo Array fired, she had nowhere to go. She is dead.

So case closed, I guess… But just because Greg Bear says one thing in his books doesn’t mean 343i can’t find a loophole to bring her back. I mean, she has become one of my favorite halo characters so I’d be willing to accept a few plot holes or stretch my imagination to see her somehow manage to survive the halo array… I mean, why should the evil Ur-Didact that she suffered and attempted to temper for so any millennia be spared and her, through all her careful planning and dedicated selfless work to preserve all sentient life have to be obliterated? Perhaps I’m just being a hopeless romantic, but earth was the portal for the ark so ya know, The Librarian hops through the portal, escapes to reemerge to save life again one day… Sure I could go for that, but I’m with you, such a scenario is definitely a stretch and all evidence in current canon points to her inevitable doom.

The Librarian seemed to have a propensity for backup plans. It appears, at least to me, that what’s left of her knew who Catherine Halsey was and gave her the Janus Key.

Alright!! I’m glad to see a few people are thinking about the Librarian returning and are open to accepting this idea. I mean I’ll be okay with it if 343i wants her to have perished with the halo array firing, but I hope we at least see the new Life Shaper tending to her work in the upcoming installments to the reclaimer saga.

Because as a wise-man once said: Life ain’t -Yoinking!- fair.

Haha, good one… But I was actually being rhetorical there to make a point. What I’m trying to reiterate is that I’m okay if she doesn’t come back; but I’d be more willing to accept her possible return despite any plot holes or stretching of the imagination because she’s such a great character. I was also trying to display my skepticism over this because I know it’s overall pretty unlikely.
One major flaw here…the Domain was destroyed when the Halo array was fired. Hence why the Didact came out if his Cryptum still angry as hell and hating humans.

Another wise man once said, “It ain’t over 'till it’s over.”
The portal at New Mombassa was not the only Forerunner artifact on Earth.

Except 343 Industries, they have said it is over since they have confirmed her death. Not sure why you guys want to keep being wrong about this, but whatever.
Has anyone seen Man of Steel, do you know how his dead father communicated to him through the ships computer and helped him, That’s how I see the Librarian Returning on other installations helping the chief. As a A.I not as her living self.

The problem is that the Librarian only left one AI imprint and it was on Requiem and Requiem was destroyed thus destroying her imprint. She’s gone. She may be seen in future Terminals or perhaps flashbacks Chief may have, though. But I’d say that isn’t very likely.

Actually, I think her imprint on Requiem may have escaped the planet before it was destroyed. In the first mission of Episode 9, a massive flock of Sentinels gather around a beam which appears to send them somewhere and we hear Librarian’s voice say “to the Absolute Record…”
Doctor Truman says: “Massive energy output. It’s a data stream, but too fast to analyse.”
Makes me think that Librarian’s imprint and her Sentinels has gone to the Absolute Record, otherwise this level means pretty much nothing. It’s a seed, if anything, which 343 has demonstrated an immense propensity for over the last 5/6 years.
