yea yea yea. I completely know and understand what the book tells us about ones like the Librarian being like 11k years old, but a few questions...
1. how long is a year? Is the "AI Translator" translating the amount of "Forerunner years" to "Human/earth years"? (Kinda like God created the earth is 7 days, but how long was a day for Him?)
2.Is their a possibility that the actually "body" of a forerunner not live for that long, but the "spirit" caused by mutations are what they actually accounting for the lifespan?
#2 I base this question on this: Bornsteller, after receiving the didact's Imprint, started to look like the Didact, and then for all intent and purposes became the Didact. Born also stated that it looked like Faber was the mentor for his Father's last mutation, that his father resembled the Master Builder. Could the librarian have done the same, constantly Imprinting younger ones so, in turn, live longer?
(Note-I am at work with no access to my book atm so no page numbers. Ill get them if you want)
At the end of Cryptum, how OLD was the Librarian's Body?
Could the Didact been passing his imprint to a few hundred Manipulars before exiling himself to the Cryptum, and finally imprinting Bornsteller?
If Bornsteller's Father is still alive after the capital was halo-inized, would it make sense that the Master Builder still, in essence, be alive?
