After they entered | After they entered the portal, Blue Team arrived in a seemingly empty Forerunner city. They moved further into the city and soon discovered six [[Composer]]s, just before the Didact appeared behind the Spartans. Holding an [[activation index]], the Promethean leader told Blue Team that they have arrived at the [[Composer's Forge]]. Blue Team open fired, to no avail; the Didact stomped the ground, generating a shockwave that caused the Spartans to stumble and fall to the ground. The Didact summoned more of his Promethean minions and a frantic firefight broke out.<ref name="HE9"/> | ||
[[859 Static Carillon]] arrived at the scene, furious that the Didact violated their agreement in having created more of the Promethean constructs, which it deemed abominations. In retort, the Didact ordered the monitor to fulfill its part of their bargain. The monitor obliged, and a [[Halo Array|Halo installation]] appeared in the sky over the Forge from slipspace. Satisfied, the Didact stated that he will repair the ring; Static Carillon told the Spartans that the Didact | [[859 Static Carillon]] arrived at the scene, furious that the Didact violated their agreement in having created more of the Promethean constructs, which it deemed abominations.

Satisfied, the Didact stated that he will repair the ring; Static Carillon told the Spartans that the Didact was planning to use the Halo against humanity and Earth. Furthermore, while it was indifferent to mankind's fate, the monitor took issue at the Didact's creation of new Prometheans from the humans of New Phoenix, viewing the Prometheans as instruments of terror and chaos and deemed their presence on its installation unacceptable. Static Carillon helped the Spartans retreat back to the Gamma Halo portal in pursuit of the Didact, holding off the hordes of Promethean machines. As the Spartans entered the portal, Static Carillon told John that he would attempt to close the portal behind the Spartans.<ref name="HE9"/> | ||

Blue Team returned to the surface of [[Installation 03]] from the [[Composer's Abyss]] and made it just in time to witness a Composer rising from the Abyss. John fell behind the rest of Blue Team — due to his conversation with Static Carillon — while the Didact confronted Fred, Kelly, and Linda.

As the Didact was about to execute Kelly, the John snuck behind the Forerunner and stabbed him in the eye with a [[combat knife]]. Intending to correct his mistake of not having killed the Spartan when he had the chance, the Didact grabbed John by the head, lifted him in the air, and crushed his helmet.<ref name="HE9"/> | ||
