The years following the end of the [[Human-Covenant War]] saw the revival of a Forerunner presence in the galaxy, with the reawakening of the [[Ur-Didact]], once the supreme commander of the Forerunner Warriors-Servants. A zealous Forerunner supremacist with a renegade hatred for humans, the Ur-Didact sought to use a machine known as the [[Composer]] to convert all of humanity into [[Promethean Knight|subservient war machines]] near the end of the Forerunners' war with the Flood. To prevent this, the [[Librarian]] imprisoned the Didact in a Cryptum on the shield world [[Requiem]], where he remained for the next 100,000 years. | The years following the end of the [[Human-Covenant War]] saw the revival of a Forerunner presence in the galaxy, with the reawakening of the [[Ur-Didact]], once the supreme commander of the Forerunner Warriors-Servants.

The Didact and his Prometheans, allied with a [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|new Covenant faction]], went to war against humanity, aiming to prevent them from attaining the Mantle. Attempting to use the Composer to digitize humanity, the Didact [[New Phoenix Incident|attacked Earth]]. However, the Master Chief and his [[Smart AI|AI]] [[Cortana]] stopped and defeated the hateful Forerunner, casting him into a slipspace portal, and subsequently destroying the Composer and the [[Mantle's Approach|Didact's ship]]. They were aided in this by the Librarian, who had left an imprint of her memories behind on [[Requiem]]. The Librarian's essence augmented the Master Chief's genetic code in order to allow him to face the Didact, giving him, along with other things, an immunity to the Composer that saved his life. However, the Didact survived his fall into slipspace, and intended to finish what he started. While the Didact was eventually "contained" as a threat by the Master Chief and his [[|Blue Team|squad-mates]],<ref name="HE10"/> the Promethean-Covenant alliance was not defeated by this setback and the conflict was still in progress in early [[2558]] when the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} [[Requiem campaign|returned to Requiem]].
