An engineer is a forerunner that repairs things like vehicles and certain machines. Also I believe it can recharge spartan shields.

A covenant species that were cut from halo near the final touches of halo CE. They will not attack you, and they repair vehicles. However, they not only help you but the help your enemies too.

But there's no sense crying over every mistake.
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.
And the Science gets done.
And you make a neat gun.
For the people who are still alive.

they have forerunner origins, but they work for anyone that doesn't hurt them

Incorrect. The engineers are not Forerunner, and their technical name is Huragok. They do, however, have a keen taste for technology, which where you're right in that they can take almost any machine and fix, build, or replicate at insane levels.

Unfortunately OP, if you were expecting this marvelous creature to appear in Halo 3: ODST, be dually aware that humans have their own forms of engineers. You saw them toting magnums and being incinerated by Hunters in your escapades during Halo 3 on the level The Storm. Don't get your hopes up, you may only see what you've already seen.

I think he meant they were a forerunner construct, in which case it's correct.

floating pink blobs that repair stuff is the...easiest way to describe them.

If so then, yes. But he needed to be more clear if he did mean it.

Interesting fact about Engineers: The first human casualty in the Human/Covenant War was caused by a Engineer.

The Engineers are a Forerunner created life form, that don't really care about anything else than repairing things and inspecting new machines. In Halo: Fall of Reach the MC witnessed one of them taking a human electric car apart, rebuilding it in a few different arrangements, then putting it back to its original state and then moving on. That was the first time the Engineers were recorded by the UNSC.

"Apparently people don't like the truth, but I do like it; I like it because it upsets a lot of people. If you show them enough times that their arguments are bull-blam!-, then maybe just once, one of them will say, 'Oh! Wait a minute I was wrong.' I live for that happening. Rare, I assure you."-Lemmy of Motorhead

They weren't necessarily engineers however. Workers, Foremen, forklift operators, etc. Seeing as how they are in a warehouse.

Not much fun in killing them excpet for their pitiful screams. I would think its the Covenant Huragok in ODST for the reason they are Covenant, and we are all taught to kill them, but Engineers don't attack you. So the idea is to overcoem the urge to kill them, or give in and going on a killing spree with them(those two Achievements).
