Forced to perform an emergency jump due to the transit of Precursor constructs disrupting slipspace in the region, the ''Audacity'' eventually reached the greater Ark. The Orion complex having fallen to the Flood, the Ark was now home to the remains of the ecumene. An emergency conference was arranged among the Forerunner commanders present in preparation for an inevitable Flood attack on the greater Ark; the Ur-Didact did not attend, instead remaining aboard the ''Mantle's Approach''. An argument ensued between the IsoDidact and the other commanders, who asserted that now that the original Didact had returned, the IsoDidact was no longer necessary. However, the IsoDidact found an unexpected ally in the [[Faber|Master Builder]], who convinced the others that the Ur-Didact was no longer | Forced to perform an emergency jump due to the transit of Precursor constructs disrupting slipspace in the region, the ''Audacity'' eventually reached the greater Ark.

However, the IsoDidact found an unexpected ally in the [[Faber|Master Builder]], who convinced the others that the Ur-Didact was no longer in a condition to lead Forerunner defense, with the Gravemind using the Ur-Didact as a tool to cause strife within the ecumene, sending him back with a message taunting the Master Builder about his wives and children having been incorporated into a Gravemind.<ref name="string29">'''Halo: Silentium''', ''String 29''</ref> Not long after, this was proven true as the Ur-Didact unexpectedly used a [[Composer]] to harvest the essences of the entire human population of the nearby [[Omega Halo]] before fleeing and deserting the Forerunners.<ref name="string33">'''Halo: Silentium''', ''String 33''</ref> | ||
As the Flood - under command of the reconstituted [[Mendicant Bias]] - and vast numbers of [[star road]]s approached the Ark, plans were laid for its defense and evacuation. The IsoDidact, the [[Examiner]], [[Bitterness-of-the-Vanquished]], and Faber traveled to Omega Halo, which would be used to clear a path for escaping ships through the star roads, which formed themselves into an impregnable wall around the Ark. At the Halo's [[control room|control center]], the Master Builder gave the coordinates of the secret [[Installation 00]] to the IsoDidact while intending to stay behind himself. Faber then fired Omega Halo, creating a momentary corridor through the star roads. However, the remaining Precursor artifacts continued to converge on Omega Halo and the Ark and soon began to tear both installations apart. As the control room collapsed, the IsoDidact and the other commanders began to plummet to their deaths. At the face of seemingly inevitable death, the Didact's imprint was momentarily shunted aside and Bornstellar's personality surfaced once more before he lost consciousness.{{Ref/Reuse|string33}} | As the Flood - under command of the reconstituted [[Mendicant Bias]] - and vast numbers of [[star road]]s approached the Ark, plans were laid for its defense and evacuation.
