By [[2557|July 25, 2557]], Static Carillon had sent numerous messages to [[Installation 03]]'s monitor [[049 Abject Testament]], who remained unresponsive. This caused 859 to travel to Installation 03 through a [[slipspace portal|service portal]] to investigate. Upon arriving at the [[Composer's Abyss]] on Installation 03, the monitor was surprised to learn that the installation's [[Composer]] was missing. Upon noticing several [[Promethean]] constructs, Carillon came into contact with the [[Ur-Didact]]. The Didact recognized Static Carillon as the "keeper of the Composers" and had Static Carillon show him the entrance to the Composer's Forge.

He intended to send them to [[Requiem]] to retake the [[shield world]]. The next day, Static Carillon was horrified to learn that the Didact had broken his part of the agreement. However, the Didact grabbed the monitor's shell and angrily reminded it that it had not yet held up its part of the bargain. 859 then managed to bring a Halo through slipspace to the sky of the world. When he informed [[Blue Team]] of the Didact's plan, [[John-117]] decided they had to get to the Halo before the Didact. 859 decided to help them, not because it cared for humans but simply because the Didact broke his agreement. 859 helped Blue Team make their way to the portal and held off the Knights while they went through the portal, promising to look for a way to close it.<ref name="HE9"/> | ||
